In the world of art, finding new, accessible ways to share your work with a wider audience is essential. At Tea Towel Keepsakes, we help artists achieve just that by transforming original creations into stunning, versatile tea towels. Through state-of-the-art digital printing, artists can reproduce their artwork on high-quality fabric, offering an affordable, tangible showpiece that fans and customers can cherish in their homes. This process is more than just printing—it’s about giving artists a new medium to display and share their work.
Why Artists Choose Tea Towels as a Canvas
Imagine your artwork not just hung on walls, but displayed in kitchens, given as gifts, and used as functional, artistic pieces in people’s everyday lives. Printed tea towels offer an affordable way to bring art into spaces where people can appreciate it daily. They’re far cheaper than purchasing original artwork but capture the essence and beauty of the original piece. Customers can even frame these tea towels, turning them into permanent fixtures in their homes.
Tea towels are perfect for a wide range of artistic styles, from vibrant color paintings to black-and-white line work, abstract patterns, photography, and intricate sketches. Our printing process captures each detail with precision, allowing artists to bring their vision to fabric with stunning accuracy and beauty.
Digital Printing: Precision and Quality Using Kornit Avalanche Technology
We use the cutting-edge Kornit Avalanche printer to bring artists’ work to life. This technology delivers vibrant, high-resolution prints that preserve every intricate detail of the original design. The Kornit machine functions almost like a high-end photocopier but uses airbrush-style ink technology to print directly onto fabric. Its water-based, eco-friendly inks are not only safe for the environment but also ensure a rich, lasting colour finish that won’t fade over time. In fact, Tea Towel Keepsakes is one of the few places in Australia using this advanced technology to create truly exceptional prints.
