Need to Know

Paper size: Each one of the two prints that make up this diptych are A4 (29 cms x 21 cms) which fit a standard off-the-shelf frame size (easy framing for you).

Handmade limited edition letter press print, Soulfully analogue. Made in Yorkshire by artist Susan Bradley.

To be really clear, you are purchasing the print only. No frames or mounts included - framed and mounted prints shown in my images are for illustration purposes only.

Packaging: All my prints come unframed, with a protective card backing, and wrapped in a clear protective compostable & biodegradable alternative to cellophane. No plastic here! Then packed inside a card backed envelope.

Planet: I want my print making to have the least impact on the plant as possible. So I use professional UK made vegetable oil based eco-friendly printmaking inks (and no solvents are used in the studio). All prints are sent to you in plastic-free packaging too

This diptych set of two prints has been created by hand. Using vintage wooden type blocks. They are hand set, hand inked, and then hand pressed using eco-friendly professional printing inks onto lovely Japanese printing paper. Diptych simply means a single artwork that is made up of two distinct sections (in this case two separate prints) that are designed to be viewed together as one cohesive piece.

The French phrase "femme libre" means "free woman" It conveys the idea of a woman who is self-reliant, autonomous and empowered. A symbol of the rejection of traditional patriarchal norms and celebrates feminine empowerment.

Each set of two prints is printed by hand, by me, in my Yorkshire studio. Because all my prints are printed by hand this makes every single one of them a unique reproduction, and subtle variations will occur from print to print in the detail. For example different amounts of ink will transfer and the vintage nature of the wooden letter block show on the print. This means that each print is unique, and to me is the whole beauty of the process and creation of handmade prints - no two prints are ever exactly the same! You get a piece of art that is individual and unique.

My prints are created in limited editions, so each print is hand numbered and signed by me in pencil.

Medium: Original letterpress print - hand set, hand inked, hand pressed in my Yorkshire studio
Ink: Professional rich black printmakers ink
Paper: Japanese printmaking paper
Edition size: 250
