Magpie Press

Hihi, Kea, Whio and friends – they’re all here on this knock-out print by Walter Hansen.  We letterpress printed this wonderful limited edition piece on luscious Somerset 500gsm paper stock this week.  The finished work is 220mm x 220mm and I believe will be available shortly from Walter via his website here.  If you’re a bird fan, and love quality prints, I’d advise you to get in quick.

We recently made our first (of I hope many) foray into the wonderful world of fine art printing.  This lovely piece is the work of Auckland Artist Robert Sly.  He supplied the original hand-drawn work, which we turned into a photopolymer nyloplate, and printed.  This print is from Robert’s ‘Clouds & Mountains’ collection, which enjoyed a rockin’ good opening at the High Seas Gallery in Beresford Street at the end of April.  I’ve included some pictures of the process for your entertainment!  Please feel free to contact Robert here if you would like any further information on the collection, including the letterpress print (finished size 420mm x 594mm).
