The Shop
Hi All!
Well, here is where it gets done! I’m talking about our letterpress printing. It’s not a trendy art space… it’s our garage, in our home in beautiful North Vancouver BC. There’s no commute and it’s easy to be together here, dogs and all! Had you seen the space 6 months ago, you would have doubled over laughing when I told you “I wanna set up my print shop in here!”. This is now proof to many that when you need to move mountains – YOU CAN! Mountains of crap! Seriously, my wife and father said it was impossible, but I showed them that with time (months) and effort (lots of sweat) the stuff you want to happen – happens! It’s a work in progress and continually changing as we acquire equipment and material, and by no means perfect . It’s COLD in the winter, HOT in the summer and we do have to contend with the 1973 Series III Land Rover that occupies ~1/2 of the available space – another one of my ongoing projects. We have found it to be a GREAT creative space, as we spend hours in here most evenings following our day jobs, with music playing, press clanging, dog snoring, usually finishing up with a beer or a glass of red to accompany that sense of accomplishment we get with each piece we create. Hopefully this is at least an intro to satisfy a few’s curiosities. I will also be adding posts in the near future to introduce you to the presses and the other helping hands around here to offer some insight into what exactly goes on in our shop.
Cheers! – Jarin
