Last chance to buy
We have discontinued our wood sign range. Unfortunately once they are gone we do not have any current plans to be making more in the future. If you don’t find what you are looking for on our website you might find it at one of our stockists.
Change is good and we are excited to continue and expand our new line of recycled paper screen prints and wedding stationary that we launched last year.
WHO ARE WE?
Philip and Lisa, husband and wife, screen printer and designer, working together from our home studio in Newcastle, Northern Ireland...
* NEW ADDITION TO OUR RECYLCLED COFFEE CUP PAPER PRINTS *
All Good Things Are Wild And Free
'All good things are wild and free', a gorgeous quote from Henry David Thoreau. Incorporating a vintage feel, Lisa loved designing this one with all of the intricate wild detail.
Featuring wild strawberries, mixed fungi and foliage we screen print our 4 layer design here in our studio on gorgeously textured recycled coffee cup paper.
Our screen prints are individually signed and fit in an A4 frame. The recycled coffee cup paper is a heavy weight 250gsm textured paper, it is eco friendly and fully recycled, consisting of 50% recycled coffee cups.
Our prints come unframed and packaged in clear plastic free, biodegradable packaging. The postal box, filling and tape are all recyclable.
* NEW ADDITION TO OUR DIGITAL PAPER PRINTS *
The Mournes are calling and I must go - print
'The Mournes are calling and I must go', our quote inspired by our own love of the Mourne mountains in Newcastle, County Down.
The quote that we are best known for across the country.
Also known as 'John of the mountains', John Muir was one of the early environmental advocates as well as likely the most influential naturalist of his time. His writings still to this day continue to inspire and awaken our love of all things wild.
Our original design is digitally printed on A4 matte, heavyweight paper and is ready to frame.
Our A4 print comes unframed and packaged in clear plastic free, biodegradable packaging. The postal box, filling and tape are all recyclable.

Testimonials
I was keen to try and shop local in the run up to Christmas. I came across this company through a couple of shops that stock their products. I bought this wooden sign for the downstairs bathroom as a reminder to my kids to wash their hands well. It's vivid and excellent quality. It arrived a few days after ordering, beautifully (environmentally) packaged and protected. I would recommend and definitely use again.
I'm not afraid of storms for I'm learning how to sail my ship - Little Women - Wood sign
Having our oldest child, who is named Storm, navigate her way through adolescence, we felt ths quote was apt for us as parents!! The colours are beautiful, and the wood is chunky and of good quality. It's very easy to hang. Arrived promptly and was beautifully packaged.
