Slang Print

The Australian Slang Postcards celebrate the humour, character and everyday language that has shaped generations of Australians. Each postcard pairs hand-set vintage wooden type, printed by letterpress on the front, with a hand-pulled screenprinted reverse, bringing together two traditional printmaking techniques in a contemporary format. Printed on 210gsm Sirio Milkshake paper in small, limited editions, the postcards preserve nostalgic expressions once commonly heard from parents and grandparents. By transforming these familiar sayings into handcrafted prints, the series honours Australia’s rich vernacular while celebrating the enduring beauty of traditional printmaking and the tactile qualities of ink on paper.
