''Grass 1'' is a botanical monoprint, created by hand, this print is one of a kind. Inspired by the long grasses growing abundantly in my garden this summer.  For the first print in my three-step printmaking process, the plants are laid carefully onto an inked plate, then this beautiful textured Fabriano paper is placed on top before going through the press. When you peel the paper off, you're left with the ink transfer around the outline of the plants. 

  • Grass.
  • A4 Original piece, handprinted.
  • Fabriano Unica paper, 250gsm. 50% cotton. 6x9 inch plate size.
  • Brown ink. Soy based.

The technique of botanical monoprinting is a slow process, requiring all plants to be pressed for a few weeks prior to printmaking. Each piece is carefully curated by using individual plants, making your artwork totally unique. The plant is inked up evenly and then put through the etching press with my chosen paper, where it presses the plant into the paper leaving an intricate copy of the delicate details.

This process allows me to slow down, by going on regular foraging walks I can connect with my surroundings. I hope this piece allows you to feel closer to nature and appreciate the smaller details within the world of botany. 

Your print will come with a biodegradable sleeve, backing board and a thoughtful thank you note, all carefully packaged in tissue paper and wrapping paper to ensure its safe arrival.
