Wrapping Paper Project

Frinton Press's First Project - As Christmas is approaching, we decided to set up a competition to find the most talented illustrators and designers out there and put together a booklet of limited edition, hand screen-printed wrapping paper using their designs. We had an overwhelming response and these were our final favourites (in no particular order) :

The booklets will be sold at various Christmas markets as well as shops and websites. More details to come. There will also be a launch party at NO:ID Gallery, opposite The Castle on Commercial Road on the 10th December, to which you are all invited.

We were impressed with all of the submissions (just about) so we'll be keeping their email addresses for future projects. If you would like to be considered as well drop us a line and we'll add you to our mailing list (or alternatively if you'd like to be taken off the list just let us know we'll shed a tear and delete your email address).
