Interested in collaborating with us?

Our studio

Our studio houses two flatbed printing presses which can accommodate work up to A0 (33.1 inches x 46.8 inches).

​

Pre-press work is done in-house in our dark room, where we develop the screens for printing. This entails making use of our on-site ULED exposure unit.

​

Flood House specialises in custom projects, the studio can accommodate printing on different materials, as long as the surface of the material is flat i.e. wood, vinyl, glass, etc.

The method

At Flood House, we work with both water and solvent based inks, depending on the artist’s needs. Understanding our clients is prioritised in the collaborative experience, as many artists are engaging with the technique for the first time. A large part of pre-press work revolves around the artist’s style and practice or process. Through pre-press work, we can establish how best to assist our clients by developing an approach that facilitates the creation of high quality, original work.

​

We have access to a wide range of archival papers so our clients are free to choose the right stock of paper for the right print. We also offer specialty products such as luminescent inks or high-gloss varnishes, which may add an extra dimension to certain works.

​

Ultimately, we aim to create beautiful and detailed work for the talented individuals with whom we work - so that it can be shared with the public to admire and enjoy.

Here, he honed his skills as a screen-printer, working with prolific artists including Faith 47, Norman Catherine and Mongezi Ncaphayi.
