Process

Forest and Fin was born out of my love for art and the environment. I currently offer environmentally inspired screen-printed apparel (mainly t-shirts) and some home goods, all of which are created by hand. Each print starts out in my sketchbook before it gets broken down into a one-to-two color design that is burned onto a screen and then printed onto paper, wood, tshirts, tea towels, bags, and other items - but mostly tshirts. The designs are inspired by environmental elements (plants and animals), printed with water-based non-toxic inks on 100% cotton products, and packaged using recycled, reusable or biodegradable natural materials.

Forest and Fin

We are designed to be outside.

Inspired by the environment and three-and-a-half years living on a small sailboat, designer Lara Neece spent the last of her savings to purchase equipment, set up a screen-printing studio, and create her company Forest and Fin. An award-winning artist and self-taught graphic designer, she designed and printed her first nature-inspired screen-printed apparel by hand using water-based inks and a manual press. Forest and Fin balances beauty, functionality, and responsible design to inspire people to spend more time outside. Items are made as earth-friendly as possible with portions of revenue giving back to environmental conservation efforts.
