New Prices

           The weights are now heavier by 400 grams! This could give you a more versatile                                       printmaking experience, not tried and tested here yet by us                                but will be as soon as I can clap hands on one!
I am sure that Slama's new modification to his invention will be up to the mark.
We still have a few of the 600gram weights in stock, but going fast!
​Sorry about the wait and delays at the moment but there have been a few changes. Thank you for your patience.
