"You know that moment, you're in a shop or a café, reaching into your pocket for coins, but instead, you pull out a handful of beautiful, sandy shells. Instantly, you're transported back to the ocean—the crashing waves, the glinting sunshine, the squawking gulls, and the soft sand underfoot.
Scallop, clam, banded wedge, mussel, limpet, periwinkle, and a tiny red jasper pebble. This print is inspired by the tiny souvenir shells we bring home from the beach."

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.
Details
Materials: Water-based inks on a 50 gsm handmade Japanese washi paper with a deckled edge.
Size: 980 x 980 mm
Hand-signed and dated by the printmaker.
Each print is made by hand in our studio on the west coast of Ireland.
Ink colour tone variations are unique to each print.
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.
