CRAFTY BASTARDS: DC

Stop #2 for Tugboat's new Pop-Up Print Shop was in Washington DC on October 1, 2011 in Adams Morgan for the Washington City Paper's Crafty Bastards Arts & Crafts Fair! Thanks to everyone that stopped by our little handbuilt wooden corner booth ~ what an awesome experience, despite the hourly drizzles! We enjoyed meeting you all!

BUILDING THE CART!

Work on the cart is moving along! We have all 6 panels built for the walls...they look (back & front) like the top photo in this post. The front (inside) will have lipped shelves for our prints. So exciting! Back to work!

PRINT CART SHACK

We have decided to build us a print cart!

According to our most recent prototype (pictured here with a 5'8" paper scrap man), our cart will fit quite nicely into a 10' x 10' show space & will also be able to collapse into a totable size to snug into the back of our minivan.

Any recommendations about where to find affordable wooden wheels would be greatly welcomed (feel free to comment below or e-mail your advice)!

New display will be making her debut at The Mattress Factory during the GESTURES exhibition opening May 7th. Rah!
