60 seconds with White Duck Screen Print

White Duck began as a means to pool the skills and passions of its two founders: Rebecca Cleal, photographer and designer, and Joshua Roberton, screen printer. The firm began printing t-shirts back in May 2005, but has since developed the studio into more of a fine art production house.
