hard-pressed
/ˌhärdˈprest/
adjective
closely pursued.
burdened with urgent business.
We believe that printing is a vessel for connection. It is a trade that supports creative and intentional expression, resource sharing, and collective action. A printshop is a place to consider, to struggle, think again, and then move forward. It is a place of radical imagination, of revolution. With the power of the press and the vitality of our community, we create opportunities for folks to intentionally participate in change-making through printed materials. By using old machines and techniques, we make haste slowly!
At the shop we produce collaborative editions, print posters, and artists books while maintaining and supporting independent studio practices.
Together we host workshops, hold weekly open studios and house a zine library.
