September / October 2022 Published 15 August 2022 Farm Since the 1800s, farming has run the gamut from natural to GMO. But now that governments have entered the fray with supportive subsidies, and organic farmers are making a concerted marketing effort to illustrate the value of this methodology, growth in the organic movement has accelerated. From its origins to today’s explosive industry expansion, we see how the organic food industry has grown over the last half-century into a global phenomenon.Communicating the key benefits of this type of agriculture is critical as it is a more expensive method of production, resulting in pricey products. Today two-thirds of households buy organic products and consumers are increasingly interested in the provenance of their purchases. The move towards organic offerings doesn’t end at the plate — instead, shoppers are looking for holistic options across the board.So why are fibre farmers lagging behind? Textiles are tricky: the old adage ‘you get what you pay for’ is a bit of a paradox when it comes to clothing. Fast fashion may be poorly constructed and quickly falls apart but fossil fuel fabrics actually last way longer than farmed fabrics. Despite the current trend for darning, it is a hard sell to convince consumers that they should spend ten times more on a wool sweater so they have the luxury of darning the elbows when they rub through. Clearly, we need more ammunition in our arsenal. In her article Yan Tan Tethera, Judith Schwartz extolled the environmental benefits of raising sheep. Elsewhere, Adrian Pepe discovers the quality of local Awassi fleece as economic necessity forces him to the hills to source materials. We stay with sheep as Annie Oakley Waterman explores northern Portugal and finds a thriving artisan economy supported by local breeds.We also look at farmed fibre cultivation; willow in the UK, abaca in the Philippines, linen in Slovakia and hemp in South Korea, and find blueprints for sustainable production everywhere we visit. If you would like to try your hand at living off of the land Bella Gonshorovitz teaches us how to grow, cook, dye and wear rhubarb.

"Giclee" is simply a French word that means "sprayed ink", and the results rival every other traditional printing process in color range, depth, and accuracy. Giclee prints are created with a 8 to 12 color ink process, as apposed to a 4 color process. The inks and the substrate are always archival in quality and will typically last more than 80 years without fading if protected from direct sunlight. Because of this high quality and advanced technology, giclee prints can be found in galleries and museums all over the world. --------Shipping:-------- Great care is taken to insure the safety of your artwork in shipment. Smaller prints are shipped flat in a plastic sleeve and a rigid photo mailer. Prints 11 x 14 and larger are shipped in a protective cardboard tube. Giclee prints 16 x 20 and larger may take up to 3 weeks for delivery. All orders are shipped within 24 hours of purchase.
