Our Inspiration

Inspired by the citizens of Ireland who kept watch over our coast during World War II. There were 82 lookout posts built from Louth to Donegal, while #83 was added later. Iconic stone signs on the ground helped pilots navigate from above and round the clock surveillance ensured the coast was clear.

Delicate Fine Art Paper. Pigment Inks. Eco Packaging.

Taken care of, this print will not fade for 100 years while our bio-packaging will disappear within a few months when composted. Bamboo is the most sustainable paper source due to its fast-growing nature, while our inks are water-based. With recycled paper supports, this is an environmentally friendly print that upholds to museum quality standards. 

Giclée? /ʒiːˈkleɪ/ (zhee-klay)

This is a French term to describe a high-quality print made with tiny amounts pigment ink on long-lasting fine art quality paper. The pigment in the ink helps keep colours lightfast as long as the print is not placed in direct sunlight. The paper mill we use is a few hundred years old and knows a thing or two about making paper last the test of time.
