Materials

Materials guide: what your piece is made of

Our boards sit on a rigid engineered-wood base, our frames use a real mitred moulding with an engineered wood backboard, and our canvas is printed to order. This page lists each material in plain words so you know what you are buying.

Boards

Cork board: 100% natural, self-healing cork over an engineered-wood base. The cork top is natural and not printed.
Pin board: engineered wood with a printed fabric surface, soft and self-healing, about 12 mm thick, that carries your design, a polystyrene frame in six finishes (Black, White, Dark Brown, Natural Brown, Golden and Antique Gold) and rust-free zig-zag hooks. Pin boards come magnetic and non-magnetic.
Magnetic writing board: engineered wood, a GI (steel-core) iron sheet and printed vinyl you can write on, in a polystyrene frame.
Magnetic writing glass board: the same, with regular 2-3 mm glass on top.
Non-magnetic writing board: engineered wood with printed vinyl on top that you can write on. No steel and no glass, so it is lighter and more economical.
Non-magnetic glass writing board: engineered wood and printed vinyl with regular 2-3 mm glass on top.

Every board is printed from the design you make in our studio: you design and preview it in our studio before ordering, and we print exactly that. Compare the two pinning surfaces in cork vs pin board, and the four writing boards in magnetic vs non-magnetic writing board.

Canvas

Canvas paintings are printed on canvas. They come framed in a moulding or unframed and rolled. Wooden-stretch canvas is temporarily unavailable. See canvas vs framed print.

Photo frames and framed art

A real mitred moulding in a wood finish with an engineered wood backboard. A blank frame is for your own print. A printed frame is printed by us, with its colour border (the mount) printed in, so it arrives ready to hang. Frame finishes: Black, White, Dark Brown, Natural Brown, Golden and Antique Gold.

The studio shows which print options are switched on today. If you see a choice such as printing on photo paper, the studio will show its price before you pay; if you do not see it, it is not available at the moment.

Acoustic panels

Acoustic art panels are temporarily unavailable and are not priced here. Please check the studio for the current status.

Colours and prints

We print with a calibrated, colour-managed process, so prints are a close match to the screen, though screens vary slightly. If exact colour matters for a project, contact us before ordering.
