These coasters feature a hand-drawn design with birds commonly found in Utah, California, and many parts of the west. They are screenprinted by me in Salt Lake City.

Due to the nature of the design and the way these are printed, each set of 4 is unique! If there is a specific bird you are hoping to have included in your set please let me know and I'll do my best to accommodate your request.

PROCESS
Screenprinting: After drawing my design by hand, the image is scanned into a computer and a film positive is printed. The film is used to expose a screen that has been coated with light-sensitive photo emulsion. Once the screen has been exposed to a bright light with the film vacuum-suctioned to it, it is developed with a pressure washer. The areas where the film was black get washed out, and the rest hardens. These areas that washed out are now open mesh that ink can pass through. A squeegee is used to push ink through the screen onto the wood. Each image is printed by hand, so slight variations may occur.

ABOUT THE ARTIST
I studied printmaking in college and worked at a fine-art screenprinting studio in Brooklyn, New York for three years before taking time off to focus on my own work and travel. I currently live in Salt Lake City, Utah, where I work as a gardener and love hiking, biking, camping and skiing in the mountains.

All of my work is based on original drawings, mostly inspired by the natural world and printed by hand.
