Description
I remember going out to Inis Mór for the first time aged about eight. We set off from Ros a Mhíl in a trawler onto a choppy sea. The smell of diesel fumes forced me out onto the open deck where, under the watchful eye of my dad, I revelled in dodging the odd wave that crashed across the gunwale. As we were pulling into Cill Ronain, some fishermen were manoeuvring a curragh through the waves towards the quay. When I examined a similar craft on dry land later on, I found it hard to understand how such a flimsy seeming boat could hold the weight of three men and withstand the battering of the waves. I understand the science of it now, but their robustness still surprises me.
About the Prints

They are mounted with a bevelled mount and carefully framed with handcrafted solid wood bevelled frames. All our wooden frames use wood sourced from sustainable forests. Many of our prints are digitally signed and embossed with our signature seal.
To keep your print as safe as possible, we use high-quality clear perspex glazing on our shipped framed prints. On our click-and-collect prints, we use 2mm clear float glass. All our unframed prints are sent flat, with bevelled mount, backing board and print sleeve.
