Cutty Sark

Leach were commissioned by Workhaus to work on the British landmark and true icon of maritime history

The Brief

Leach were commissioned by Workhaus to work on this British landmark and true icon of maritime history.

Leach’s role included:

  • Product design and specification
  • Project Management
  • Timber printing and shaping
  • Sackcloth printing and stitching
  • Timber flame-branding
  • On-site screen printing
  • Hand stenciling
  • Lambda Graphics
  • Internal wayfinding
  • Logistics
  • Installation and site works

The Solution

We were keen to provide an interpretive scheme that worked alongside the fantastic vessel and helped develop a subtle yet beautiful graphic scheme. This involved printing curved pieces of timber, mimicking the lines of the ship’s hull, digitally printing an entire cargo of tea chests, not to mention a ship’s hold full of printed sacks!

The result is truly inspirational and provides the visitor with a glimpse of working life aboard the Cutty Sark, whilst telling its story with genuine interest.
