We are very pleased to be selling calligrapher Seb Lester's latest collection of prints.
Seb created this collection for a solo show of very small prints and original art in the smallest art gallery in the UK. In keeping with the show's title, 'Tiny,' he searched online for the smallest art gallery in the UK, which turned out to be a phone box in the middle of nowhere in the North of England. This phone box was the venue for his show.
Seb Lester states, "I'm delighted with the new work; it's some of my best to date, and the new mini-print format of die-stamped and embossed printing is extraordinary."
The mini prints are printed in gold ink which is die stamped and embossed in a letterpress process onto sumptuous heavyweight GF Smith Colorplan paper, a favourite of many fine printmakers due to its quality and rich colours.
We have seven prints which are all available for £24 each or 4 for £85.
