Frequently Asked Questions
Where does Clay & Ink art come from?

Clay & Ink is our house brand, so every print carries the brand name. Each piece is made to one line: Designed by our talented team in Melbourne using digital tools. When you order from the range, that same studio line is what you get.

Is the artwork painted or printed?

Every piece is printed as a giclée on paper or on canvas. The design is built digitally first, and its gestural marks give it a painted look. What you hang starts life as a digital file, printed at full size.

Which rooms suit Clay & Ink pieces?

Living rooms and bedrooms both work well, and you can size the art to each room. Two 18 x 24 in canvases look lovely above a sofa, and a single 24 x 36 in canvas suits the wall over a bed. On a shelf or mantel, you can prop an 8 x 10 in and an 11 x 14 in framed print together without a mat. Measure the sofa or bed first, then aim for art around two thirds of its width.

What sizes can I choose?

Each piece is ready-made and prints in the sizes listed on its own page. A size is offered when the image crops cleanly to that shape and carries enough detail. If you want your own image printed, our custom Canvas Prints and Framed Prints products print a photo you upload.

Warm abstracts, in a painted look


Clay & Ink is warm abstract wall art for a room that wants color without noise. Arches, half moons, suns and vessels sit alongside calm checks and stripes. Broad color fields and gestural marks give each piece a painted look. Ochre, rust and terracotta warm the palette, with oxblood and olive to deepen it. Mid-century shapes hold the group together.


How a Clay & Ink piece is made


Each piece is built digitally and printed as a giclée, so the marks read as brushed at any size. Art prints come unframed on 200gsm matte paper. A framed print uses a thin wood frame in black, white or oak look, with clear acrylic at the front and an optional white mat. It arrives ready to hang, hook fitted to the back. Canvas is 400gsm stock over a stretcher about 1.5 in deep, with mirrored edges so the picture stays on the face. A float frame or a classic frame is optional in those three finishes. The box holds no hanging hardware.


Pairs, color and scale


Many pieces are made as pairs, and a few as sets of 3. Above a sofa, two 18 x 24 in canvases fill the wall well. Over a bed, one 24 x 36 in canvas stands alone. A mantel or shelf takes an 8 x 10 in framed print leaned against an 11 x 14 in, without a mat. As a rough guide, aim for two thirds the furniture's width. For a wider mix, browse our wall art range, then add stem & vessel art or mesa & sage prints.
