"My great-grandparents on my mum’s side were charcoal burners near Goddern Green-Kent. On researching this piece, it’s entirely plausible that spoils of their efforts were likely put to drying the hops in those rather lovely looking oast houses. Many old oast houses, can still be seen in parts of Kent to this day." - Hooksmith Press

Hooksmith Press is a New Zealand-born typography artist. His striking artworks hold a vintage charm that is elevated by his use of old fashioned printing techniques - a homage to a "slower time" in printmaking. Hooksmith's love of the written word shines through in his unique collection of letterpress prints. The former fly fisher has also been collecting Kiwiana and other ephemera from his home country for over 30 years, and he is heavily influenced by his heritage. We love how Hooksmith embraces tradition and how his hand-crafted prints are a homage to vintage printing processes. The artist says of this appreciation of the past:"Letterpress is a medium which allows me to collect and re-use elements from the past to create something new; a tangible and tactile connection to history and a continuation of a craft." We've been working with Hooksmith Press since 2022.

What is Archival Giclée
Giclée (/ʒiːˈkleɪ/ zhee-KLAY) is a neologism, ultimately derived from the French word gicleur, coined in 1991 by printmaker Jack Duganne for fine art digital prints made using inkjet printers. The name was originally applied to fine art prints created on a modified Iris printer in a process invented in the late 1980s. It has since been used widely to mean any fine-art printing, usually archival, printed by inkjet. It is often used by artists, galleries, and print shops for their high quality printing, but is also used generically for art printing of any quality.
