Shona Branigan : Salmon Jam Press
Here at Salmon Jam Press, Cassie and I are never far from our source of inspiration: the trees and rivers of Northumberland.
I am an artist printmaker, creating wood engravings, woodcuts and letterpress from my musings on the river bank, and often in the river itself.
I try to stay true to nature and my wonder at what we find.
I am creating work to share and so I print each item according to demand and the natural lifespan of the material itself.
This leads to great value prices for original hand printed pieces of work.
Thank you for visiting and I hope you enjoy what you find.

"Untamed, a bit wild and free, with windy windswept long hair blowing, elemental woodsmoke, fire, water, wood, stone, mystery. Lets keep going"
This is a print taken from the wood itself!
It is burnt using the Shou Sugi Ban Japanese technique to bring out the natural texture of the wood. I then ink and print either by hand burnishing onto Japanese Paper or if possible through the press. I print these in small editions on a regular basis and so they will be dated and signed.
Original Wood engravings hand printed one at a time on my press onto handmade Fabriano Unica paper. Mounted and ready for framing. I print these in small editions on a regular basis and so they will be dated and signed.
Original prints on Fabriano handmade paper are so tactile and lovely to touch. You may choose to frame the print, but it also looks beautiful on display. As it comes with a silky cream envelope it can also be sent as a gift card or given with your own message inside. Each of these prints are original and I print them one at a time by hand on my printing press using traditional techniques. They are dated and signed in regular small editions.
