Prints and Cards by Local Artists
In addition to our bronze sculpture collection, we have a range of limited edition prints and cards, inspired by the same well loved Celtic legends.
Irish artist David Rooney's series; The Salmon of Knowledge, The Cauldron of Bran, The Boar of Ben Gulbain and Fiacc the Raven (main picture) are hand pulled screen prints on Fabriano 220 gsm with Guinness black ink. Each print is part of a limited edition and has been numbered and signed by the artist. They are available unframed or framed in a solid wood black frame with a double mount.
We also have a range of limited edition
collagraphs by Clare Keys. Collagraphs are a form of relief printmaking created by building up layers of different textures on a flat surface and varnishing to produce a 'plate'. This is then be used to create prints, one at a time, in variant colours. The artist carefully applies ink to the plate, sometimes using a rolled up cloth to paint on different colours, a technique called "à la poupée". Once the plate has been prepared, it is passed through a printing press to transfer the image onto Fabriano paper. Before the next print can be created, the artist must clean the plate and reapply ink. Because e
ach print is created by hand, variations will occur which means that each one is has its own unique characteristics. The plates are used for a limited edition of prints and each one is signed, titled and numbered by the artist.
A collection of cards featuring images from our prints and the stories behind them can be found HERE. The cards are blank inside and feature the Celtic legend that inspired the illustration on the back. They are available as individual cards or as a set of four.
