Our Humble Studio

 

Photobucket
Our studio is located in the garage of our suburban Detroit home. In it we can screen print, letter press, paint, collage, hammer, nail, cut, glue, tape, staple and spray.

Our silkscreen “press” consists of a piece of 3/4″ masonite with two hinges from Dick Blick attached to them. While not a true professional press, it is affordable and does get the job done quite nicely. With it we are able to screen shirts, prints, invitations. In time we will also hope to make limited edition prints with it.

Our letterpress is from a plan we found in ReadyMade, with some minor changes. For example, we supplemented expensive lexan for a granite countertop remnant that we had found at a garage sale.
