We spend most days at the press thinking about paper, type, and how small printed pieces fit into everyday life.

It is so meaningful to have our work & small letterpress shop included in Art for Everyone by Liz Lidgett, out April 21st!

The book is about living with art in a practical, accessible way, which is very much the thinking behind our work, and all the joy we get from putting art into the world.

So honored to be part of book 🫶🏻

Hello Lovers.. Happy February & Happy First Friday! Stop in for some snail mail love tonight from 5-8pm, studio 120

It’s hard to know what to do in times like this so we default to do what we know best… we print. The printing press and the words it creates are powerful tools. Today we’re opening the shop up from 12-4pm for you to come grab a free community poster, pull one yourself that we have on press, or just be in good company.

We’ll have a stack of posters out, some coming off the press throughout the afternoon so come & go as you please. Find us in studio 120 inside Mainframe on the 1st Level.

The poster are free but we encourage you to make a donation to one of the many organizations helping others in this time. Suggested orgs are or

Follow to stay up to date on what you can do to support our immigrant and refugee neighbors. Add their ICE reporting hotline (515-505-8805) to your phones.

There are so many ways to be engaged…
Keep calling your representatives, protesting, helping each other out & checking in with our community.

Take care of each other,
Adam & Tammy
