CORNER BLOCK STUDIO | Pressi Frame for Prints/unhemmed textiles
Regular price $77.00 Sale price $46.00 $46.00An easy and beautiful way to frame your artwork. Simple to use with no magnets or tools required.

Designed and crafted in Australia by Corner Block Studio in Meanjin, Queensland, they are made from premium and sustainable timber.
How it works
The artwork is gently clamped in each timber bar using a soft cotton cord. This securely holds the artwork, without damaging it.
The top and bottom 1cm of the artwork is covered by the timber.
The Pressi Frame suits paper or card up to 1mm thick (about 600 gsm card).
It also suits textiles if un-hemmed and with straight edges e.g. (linen, cloth, silk, canvas). For hemmed textiles see the tea towel frame.
Size Guide
Frame size and ideal artwork size:
(Tip - choose to suit the width of your artwork, the length can be anything.)
50 cm - to suit Clubbies Surf Life Saving Clubs Screen Prints or other similarly sized prints
For a different look, the artwork can also be narrower or wider than the timber bar - the timber or artwork will overhang accordingly.
Hanging Methods
Hidden (standard) - Hang from the 'keyhole' slot in the top timber bar onto a screw/nail/hook (not supplied) in your wall.

Regular price $30.00 $30.00BACK IN STOCK LATE FEB. PRE-ORDER NOW!
An ode to slow travel, splendour and sun. Que viva España.
For this magazine, Lodestar's contributors have descended into caves in the name of cheese, gone in search of volcanoes, wandered ancient pilgrim paths, ridden horses into the sunset, been enthralled by architecture, cooked the way their grandparents did and penned odes to lace. They have explored places that come with meaning.
Some destinations are ‘home’, others are steeped in memory, and a few are being discovered for the very first time, the siren’s call impossible to resist. You can read this zest in their words and see the ardour in their images, because when someone creates with love and respect you feel it. You’re there with them. This is how you discover and are reacquainted with Spain - through the eyes of others.
Featured destinations: Ibiza, Tarifa, Oviedo, Toledo, Granada, Segovia, Seville, Valencia, Lanzarote, Montserrat, Formentera, San Sebastián, Santiago de Compostela

In Sidetracked Volume 21, the best stories of adventure in our time have been collected: groundbreaking journeys, pioneering ascents, endurance in the face of escalating challenges, and moments of quiet beauty in nature.
In ‘Polar Shadows’, Vincent Colliard and Caroline Côté face the long, brutal night of the Arctic winter with little beyond their reliance on one another to keep them going. Mónica Fuentes and Alberto Ojembarrena dig deep and trust in each other’s capabilities when trekking through a seldom-hiked region of Iceland, and Tamara Lunger and Simone Moro touch the very limits of human endurance while attempting the first winter crossing of two 8,000m Himalayan peaks – an expedition that changes Tamara’s life.
Join in an exploration of what it means to survive, and to accomplish things greater than ourselves, in this issue of Sidetracked.
