MEET THE PEOPLE
BEHIND THE SQUEEGEE.

As a second generation screen printer, from a young age James grew up watching his father hand cut stencils on the family dining table after hours, not knowing that he too had caught the bug.

James left school to turn his hand to screen printing 45 years ago, and from that point it is all he has ever known. From his early days winning Apprentice of the Year each year and numerous other accolades, he has continued to learn just what great results can be achieved utilising old school techniques along with a modern approach. Years ago, when all seemed lost as the new buzz word “digital” started to become the norm, James took the complete opposite approach and refined his skills even further into the limited edition space, where screen printed editions were, and still are, the premium method.

Fast forward to today and screen printing still retains its place in this market, and James has become one of the few still producing quality prints utilising this once neglected method.

“I’m looking forward to many more years doing what I love, for the best people and projects.”— JAMES

Abi first discovered screen printing in 2019, creating prints for friends in the music industry and quickly falling in love with the process.

Since meeting James, she has continued to develop her craft, learning from his years of experience and gaining a deeper understanding of the detail and technique that go into producing a great print.

For Abi, what makes screen printing special is that it still feels like a true craft. Every piece takes time, care, patience and a hands-on approach that you simply can’t replicate with mass-produced printing. There’s a rawness, authenticity, vibrancy and quality to a screen printed piece that gives the artwork its own character.

She’s excited to keep learning from James, refining her skills and helping turn great artwork into something people can hold, collect, hang and enjoy.

“I love getting to see a piece come together. Screen printing is an art, with more vibrancy and authenticity, and I look forward to making your art come to life.”— ABI
