Memory of Running

Plastic Foundry was established as an one-stop destination for exclusive prints, one-of-a-kind high end art toys and sculptures. Our goal is simple – to be a catalyst and advocate in providing a platform for captivating and original artists (both leading and emerging) to showcase their works to the world. Plastic Foundry was founded by the team behind Mighty Jaxx and is located in Joo Chiat, Singapore. In line with our namesake, our production facilities, equipment and showroom space are all housed under one roof; ensuring that each and every piece that goes out conforms to the highest quality standard and is handled with care. We love doing what we do, and it shows.Giclée (pronounced "zhee-clay") is a neologism for the process of making fine art prints from a digital source using ink-jet printing. The word "giclée" is derived from the French language word "le gicleur" meaning "nozzle", or more specifically "gicler" meaning "to squirt, spurt, or spray". It was coined in 1991 by Jack Duganne, a printmaker working in the field, to represent any inkjet-based digital print used as fine art. The intent of that name was to distinguish commonly known industrial "Iris proofs" from the type of fine art prints artists were producing on those same types of printers. The name was originally applied to fine art prints created on Iris printers in a process invented in the early 1990s but has since come to mean any high quality ink-jet print and is often used in galleries and print shops to denote such prints.
