Let customers speak for us
from 8 reviewsA truly lovely print and a thoughtful touch with the packaging.

Lovely print, we saw it when visiting Kirkcudbright last year... distributing my Christmas present purchasing. 😀

Really happy with the print that I ordered, arrived really quickly too
This little frog is so cute I just couldn't resist him and I've already had him framed to put up on the wall.

I love how the print is so simple yet the belted cows are still so identifiable. Now just looking for the right frame.
Lovely composition and such skill - the combination of the embossing with the subtle textures caught my eye and it is such a calm and relaxing print to look at in real life. Beautifully mounted too. The print was well packed, and arrived very quickly in perfect condition. I appreciated the personal note - many thanks, Claire!
I couldn't resist buying this for myself while I was buying a gift. Though a large purchase I'm glad I did so as the print is amazing; the use of shading, negative space and embossing makes the print really 'tingle' for me.
I'm so looking forward to framing this and hanging it across from another moonlight print I have, and have the print already propped up so I can see it.
I bought this as a 60th birthday present and it was very well received.
The design is striking, with the use of colour and embossing bringing out the nature of the unusual subject matter, wild garlic, brilliantly.

Have we met?
I'm Claire, a self-taught printmaker with a particular passion for Japanese woodblock techniques. I create original handmade prints using woodblocks and/or stencils to build up layer upon layer of colour by hand using sponges, brushes and a baren (Japanese hand press).
To make my work more accessible to a wider audience, I also now offer fine art reproductions of selected designs – carefully produced to honour the spirit of the handmade originals.
My designs range from gentle, calming scenes and delicate nature studies to joyful celebrations of things that make me smile.
There's a story behind each piece, and what they all have in common is a combination of my passion for print with my wonder at the world.

How do I chose my subjects?
I see it, it moves me, and that little voice in my head says, “I’m going to make a print of that”. Yes, it is that simple and yes, it’s quite often a flower, or a bird, or even a caterpillar, but sometimes you’ve just got to make a print of a replica ice cream!
If something provokes a reaction of wonder, fascination, or joy in me, then it becomes a candidate for a print design.
Now you know a little bit more about me and my work, have a look around and find your perfect print . . .
