Producer of letterpress cards, prints and ephemera, all printed with hand-set metal type and antique image blocks, as well as chapbooks, artworks and sundry curiosities; my home is in the borderlands of England and Wales.
I work from home in Cusop Dingle, about a mile outside Hay-on-Wye, and can be found fortnightly (on the 1st, 3rd & occasional 5th weeks of the month) at a stall in the Butter Market at Hay's Thursday market.
The name of my imprint, fallowpages, takes its inspiration from Harmas, the home of the French naturalist Jean-Henri Fabre from 1879 until his death in 1915. ‘Harmas’ means, in Provençal, a plot of uncultivated land, and indeed, Fabre used to keep a strip of just that in his garden to see what turned up. The name seemed a good fit for my odds, ends and various excursions, which often make use of chance finds and unexpected arrivals.
I don't as yet have a selling site, but please get in touch if anything appeals. as most of the prints and cards on the site are available. Cards are £4, prints generally £20-£25 and can be surface mounted on suitable mountboard for a little extra.
I also print business cards, compliments cards, bookmarks and suchlike to order (take a look at the Commissions section for some examples), so do get in touch if you are interested, though please note I don't do wedding invitations! In the digital realm I also do layout and typesetting, so if you have content which needs turning into a book I can produce a print-ready PDF for you (see Book Design & Layout for some recent work).
Thank you!
