TUGBOAT'S PRINTSHOP, PITTSBURGH

Inside our little home-sweet-home printshop in Lawrenceville, Pittsburgh. Where we print all of our woodcut print editions, on a 36" x 60" Conrad etching press. It's a small, tidy space and we make the most of it! The bulk of our carving we do down in our basement headquarters, photos of that to come. Maybe. 

"COMMUNITY" PRE-ORDER!

There's a new pre-order in our online shop! The "COMMUNITY", currently in production here at Tugboat Printshop, will be a full color print, final size 16" x 20". Hard to describe our color plans at this point in time, but if you like what we did with "FARM BARGE" and "GARDEN" and "FOREST" and "BONFIRE", then we think you'll be in for a special treat!

Pictured above is the key block for "COMMUNITY". The key block is the detail block that prints last atop all of the printed color blocks. Be in touch if you have any questions - more soon!
