“Bring the sea home; a collection of botanical prints inspired by clear bright mornings seaweed foraging in the ice-cold waters of the Atlantic. Hang as a set or make a single bold statement.”

About This Print
This is a handmade print printed on handmade washi (Japanese paper). Strong, warm bold colours and shapes sit atop a delicate, partially translucent paper. The print is from a hand-cut lino block. Blocks are inked up by hand and lead to a unique colour variation in each print. Each print block is hand-printed onto a 50 gsm long-fibred handmade Japanese washi paper from Awagami Factory in Tokushima, Japan, where they have been making washi papers for eight generations.

Sustainability Commitment
All of our prints are printed by hand in our studio. We use only handmade Japanese paper (washi) made from renewable plant sources. When compared to wood-based papers, washi is created with significantly less harm to our environment. We use only water-based ink and no toxic cleaning products or solvents. We hand carve our printing blocks from linoleum which is fully biodegradable and recyclable. Our paper packaging is 100% recycled paper from FSC-certified sources. As a member of '1% for the Planet' we donate 1% of every sale to environmental causes.

Dillisk (Palmaria Palmata) also known as Dulse, Dilsk or Creathnach grows along the the low tide line on rocky exposed shores and is easily identified by its maroon coloured leathery fronds. Hand picked and left to dry in the wind, it makes a salty chewy snack that pairs well with dark ales and stouts. Alteratively try Dillisk Kimchi or add flavour to potato dishes (dillisk champ), boiled and pureed like a laverbread, or to make a dillisk dashi (a Japanese style soup stock). Dillisk is traditionally eaten as a snack in Ireland, Scotland, Iceland, Greenland, Norway and the Faroe Islands and is an excellent source of dietary iodine.
