Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Clay & Ink range?

Clay & Ink is one of our house brands. Designed by our talented team in Melbourne using digital tools. You will see the Clay & Ink name as the byline on every piece.

How is each piece printed?

Each artwork is a giclée print with a painted look. You can choose archival matte paper or a printed canvas. The painted look comes from the digital design.

Which rooms suit Clay & Ink pieces?

Warm abstracts suit living rooms, bedrooms and kitchens, and they sit well on shelves. You can hang a pair of 50 x 70 cm canvases above a sofa, or place one 70 x 100 cm canvas over a bed. Lean an A4 and A3 framed print together on a mantel or shelf without a mount. Keep kitchen pieces small, from A4 to A2.

Warm abstracts with a painted look


Clay & Ink is our house brand for warm abstract wall art. Gestural marks and mid-century shapes (arches, suns, half moons) sit with colour fields in ochre, oxblood, rust and olive. Tidewater I, Ochre Field I and Sun and Half Moons show the range, alongside checks, stripes and river stones. In quieter pieces, a small ink line traces hills, branches or misty ranges. Hang one beside the landscape work in our wall art category and the warmth still leads.


How a Clay & Ink piece is made


Every piece starts in our Melbourne studio, where digital tools and gouache textures build the painted look, brush marks included. The finished work is printed as a giclée on 200gsm archival matte paper, or a 400gsm canvas with mirrored edges on a 38 mm frame. The Clay & Ink name is the byline. For a cooler palette, the Sea Baths range covers Australian coast and country in a similar loose style.


Pairs, colour and scale


Some designs come as a pair made to hang side by side, which suits a long wall. A pair of 50 x 70 cm canvases works above a sofa. Over a bed, use one 70 x 100 cm canvas. A mantel or shelf can hold an A4 and A3 framed print leaning together without a mount. Kitchens suit small pieces from A4 to A2. For botanical colour, Gum & Glaze still life prints bring flowers and fruit into the room.
