Original buying Lino Print of Teapot (Dark Grey), Handmade, Original Print, Printmaking, Australian

‘Teapot One (Dark Grey)' is a limited edition, hand made, original lino relief print.

This print was inspired by two of my favourite things – tea and patterns! I drink tea all the time and have a small collection of teapots in my home.

This is a limited edition of 10 prints in dark grey ink. Each print has the edition number (ie 1/10), the title and my signature.

Paper size is approximately 35 x 49cm, and the printed buying teapot is approximately 20 x 29cm.

This artwork is printed on high quality white Fabriano Rosapina paper (60% cotton rag content), and is printed with professional water based Graphic Chemical Company inks.

I drew the teapot design by hand in my sketchbook first. The print was created by carefully hand carving the design onto the surface of the lino block. After the carving is complete, I hand mix and roll the ink onto the surface of the lino block. Using my printing press in my studio at home, prints are made by placing the printmaking paper on top of the inked lino block and this ‘sandwich' is hand pulled through the press to create the print.

I have left plenty of white space around the print as I like the aesthetic of the space contrasting with the patterned lino print. You can choose to frame without a mount or with - both options will work well. Each piece of paper is cut by hand so there may be some slight variations on paper size, and you may have a ‘Fabriano Rosapina' watermark on the paper surface itself. I recommend waiting until you receive the print to organize framing. The paper itself is high quality and heavy weight, which gives the print a lovely feeling as an art object.

I package my artworks with great care and always aim for happy customers. I carefully roll each artwork in tissue paper and butchers paper before placing securely inside a sturdy cardboard mailing tube.

I aim to post items within two business days of receiving payment, and will post with Australia Post.

Please get in touch if you have any questions, I would love to hear from you.
