We’ve had the wonderful Elsabé Milandri back in the studio, working on two new screen print collaborations that have come out beautifully and are ready to fly off the drying racks and into your homes. This studio session was something like a reunion, as Milandri was one of the first artists
Our latest screen print is the result of a collaboration with a collaboration: the Magolide Collective – a young, dynamic duo who work, and rework, their way through the weighted layers of history. Inundated with centuries of multiple narratives as well as today’s information overwhelm, these artists endeavour to remake subject
We were thrilled to have acclaimed artist Gerhard Marx back in the studio recently. Drawing, sculpture, and performance are the chief mediums of his practice, but a couple of years ago, he began exploring printmaking as an avenue through which to investigate his subjects - thematic concerns that fall under an
Marna Hattingh has created a wonderful new limited edition screen print with us. Titled “Moment”, it’s a portrait of an emotional state, an inner world, where detailed, colourful anthropomorphic metaphors and mythological and natural references weave into and out of one another, describing a euphoric, dreamlike world in continual flux.

We’ve been fortunate to work with Nina Torr on a number of screen prints, with her Meet-in-the-making artwork one of the first in our sketchbook inspired project, and our 2016 collaboration titled "Keep me there" a firm favourite with art buyers.

In this Special Project, Nelo Teixeira’s sketchbook was our source of inspiration – and also functioned as the common language between us and the Portuguese-speaking artist. This most remote of collaborations – across countries and language barriers – was paradoxically intimate, dynamic and exciting, afforded by the immediacy of his sketches,
Our second Meet-in-the-making screen print this month is by Shakil Solanki, an award-winning young artist acclaimed for his achievements in printmaking. His use of colour plays an integral role in his work, which meant that, once again, one of our chief tasks in studio was to amplify the artist’s masterful handling
This month, we have two exceptional Meet-in-the-making editions ready for the taking. Besides that fact that both artists in question are emerging talents under the age of 30, they also share an incredible knack for colour – vivid, luminescent, undeniable colour that plays a fundamental role in their respective practices. So,
From the signature strokes of Michael Taylor’s pencil, comes a very special Special Project indeed: “The Onlookers” – a gorgeous, massive, two-colour screen print edition of just five prints. This 50ty/50ty artwork has its origins in the pages of Taylor’s sketchbook, as an A5 pencil drawing. We were keen to see
