They say;

I love sport, films, numbers and good design. 

This is my first attempt to consolidate my interests.  I complete all the research and design the prints. It’s a labour of love.

Each image is finished as a beautiful Giclee print on heavy weight Hahnemühle fine art paper to the size noted.

And each print can be customised to the buyer’s wishes.

Learn to create your own wrapping paper designs and bring a unique edge to your Christmas gifts this year.

This Christmas Wrapping Paper Workshop with Hato Press is on Wednesday 11th December.

£45.00

They say;

Learn about riso-printing, mark-making and collage techniques
Take home 10 sheets of Riso printed wrapping paper of your own design
Complimentary mulled wine and mince pies included
 

The festive season is nearly upon us, and with it comes the unavoidable seasonal insanity; Christmas CDs on loop, bearded men inviting you to sit on their knee, unnecessary amounts of tinsel, and industrial presses methodically churning out packs of generic greetings cards. Not at Hato HQ. We’re encouraging you to get personal this yuletide with some creative wrapping paper making to share with  your nearest and dearest. Using a mixture of collage and mark-making techniques, you will create 10 sheets of A3 wrapping paper, printed in 2 colours on our risograph printers.

Stripes are in and out of favour continually and currently we see them with both a natural feel in linens, natural colours and soft tones, but also in bolder starker contrasting tones that make a statement within an interior.

Not a pattern to clash with varying stripes on different homewares but great clashing with florals or bold block colour prints.
