From August 2008, we've added screenprinting to our main activities and we are now developing an extensive
range of new content from our own studio and other artists. Definitely watch
this space for new art from some of the leading practitioners of this medium from within the city & beyond. We believe ours is the first studio in Sheffield dedicated purely to
art editioning, producing prints and posters for the art market. Our first edition, late August 2008, is the "Terror...! At Tinsley Towers!" print, by artist Jim Connolly, depicting
the twin towers of Sheffield collapsing, a six-colour image in comic-book style.
Get involved
in the process - call us to find out more about commissioning pieces for your own purposes.... gig posters... art editions... t-shirts... promotional materials. All our screen printing is carried out using water-based - i.e. solvent-free
- inks. Recycled papers art used for many jobs, but new-content papers may be used for high-end printmaking on archival stock.
Above is a picture of our Archipelago team (from

during early production of Jim's piece... our photographer was lucky to catch this rare moment, which was not posed at
all.
