On-demand prints...

...when you need them

  • Analogue in a digital world

    While everybody else is looking to digital printing for their solutions, many designers that I know cannot afford to outsource. Lino block printing is cheap and easy to do yourself.

  • Up-cycle your fabrics

    Lino block prints are a wonderful way of up-cycling fabrics with existing prints that have become out-dated. They are also wonderful for hiding stains and marks. Transform fabrics that you might normally have thrown away into fabrics that you can use again.

  • You don't need expensive equipment

    "Thank you for showing us how it is possible to print fabric without masses of expensive equipment." Morag Potter
