Kind people, please pray for me.

In the previous post I showed the making of two new plate editions and now we have one of these complete. It was printed in two colours at the mangle studio, the front reads 'Kind people, please pray for me.' and on the back reads 'Ryantown This is # in an edition #. This plate was made at The Mangle, temple street, London E2. I don't want to live in a place where people don't want to dream.' It will be available to buy from Ryantown this weekend and on our etsy shop too.

Coming soon...

At Ryantown HQ we are currently working on two new plate editions, both are adapted from Rob's etchings and each will be an edition of 15. Here is a sneak peek at the plates being made at the studio. We still need to number them on the back in gold lustre and Rob will also sign them, but they will be available very soon!

Staffordshire Cat Edition: Part 2

Our new edition of Staffordshire cats are at last complete and I am very excited to write this post about the final stages involved in the of making them. 

The cats cheeks, paws and tail were carefully painted by hand using water based on-glaze ceramic blue ink, and their eyes were painted green. They were then fired in our kiln.

Next, cross-hatching was added in small sections to the bottom part of each cat. The cross hatch pieces were cut to size to fit around the paws and tail.  After this stage they were fired again in the kiln.

The backs of each cat are all signed by Rob and numbered in lustre too.

Each cat comes individually packaged in it's very own screenprinted box, Rob did a special drawing for the front of the box and below you can see Tom printing them at The Mangle studio.

The cats are an edition of 15 pairs and are priced at £295. They will be available to buy from our shop, Ryantown, this weekend and also from our etsy shop too.
