Ⓞⓤⓡ ⒸⓞⓛⓤⓜⓑⓘⓐⓝThroughout

Ⓞⓤⓡ ⒸⓞⓛⓤⓜⓑⓘⓐⓝThroughout this year we want to give you snippets of information and photographs from our workshop. As we turn 40 this year, there is 𝚜𝚘 𝚖𝚞𝚌𝚑 𝚑𝚒𝚜𝚝𝚘𝚛𝚢 𝚒𝚗 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝚌𝚛𝚎𝚊𝚔𝚜 𝚊𝚗𝚍 𝚌𝚛𝚎𝚟𝚒𝚌𝚎𝚜 𝚘𝚏 𝚘𝚞𝚛 𝚠𝚘𝚛𝚔𝚜𝚑𝚘𝚙. One, is our Columbian printing press.As you can see on the plaque, this press dates back to 1825, made in London, making it almost 200 years old. Invented by George Clymer, 1813, this is one of Seacourt’s most beloved pieces of equipment.Its ornate nature goes beyond aesthetics, as many of the design features actually serve as functional parts of the press’ operational system. The bizarre ornamentation not only reflects the style of the time but also was designed as a marketing feature, making the press 𝚞𝚗𝚏𝚘𝚛𝚐𝚎𝚝𝚝𝚊𝚋𝚕𝚎.The Eagle at the top of the press actually serves as a 15lb counterbalance weight, adjustable by sliding along the lady/other counterbalance lever.#seacourtprints #seacourtprintworkshop #seacourtni #columbianprintingpress #columbianprintmakingpress #columbianpress #traditionalprintmaking #historyofprint #historyofprintmaking #printmakingprocess #historyoftraditionalprintmaking #industrialrevolution #georgeclyme #inventorsofinstagram

Hi folks! I hope all of my N.I. friends quenched their thirst for retail today, and hit all the independent shops, who's owners have worked tirelessly to open again after a long lockdown.⁣
In celebration of @wallhangersbangor re-emergence - where I work, and am Artist-in-Residence - I have made some exclusive collage pieces. ⁣
⁣
One of the perks of working in a framers, is the ability to be creative with your own pieces, as I have showcased here. I love a sneaky pop of colour on a painted slip, and these vibrant little one off screenprint / letterpress pieces are offset against this beautiful large Dusky Pink mount. ⁣
⁣
There are more to come - 8 in total, with one triptych as pictured. Only 3 of the individual pieces shown here, as I need to finish the rest of the frames tomorrow!⁣
⁣
Available NOW in Wallhangers - £150 each, or 3 for £400.⁣
I love these, and they were so fun to make. I hope you will love them too!⁣
