'Up North' handprinted letterpress print

Celebrating the fiercely protected heritage of northerners and southerners (see Down South print) in original typographic art.

This print has been created by hand by me in my studio, using vintage wooden type blocks. They wooden type blocks are hand set, hand inked, and then handpressed using eco-friendly professional printing inks onto lovely heavyweight acid-free paper.

Each one 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 blocks show on the print. Which all mean 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.
