Take a look at Rebecca Macri's Etsy Store. She has been working diligently as an AS220 Community Printshop Monthly Member since January 2008. Rebecca can often be found printing on fabric or luxurious cotton papers and she loves the 1-5 pm time slot. After designing and printing textiles she sews them into wonderfully conceived bags and pillows.

"Two color design in hot lime green and chocolate brown on 100% rag cream paper. This print was born out of my love of cross-stitch and my desire to put bombs on everything", Rebecca writes of her print below.

Paul O'Connor, explains to Meredith Younger and Matt Obert, fellow keymembers at a Keymember meeting, what might be plaguing the power washer.

Today we sent the power washer, used to clean silkscreens out for repairs. It came as no surprise that it needs some tender loving care. This shop tool gets more use than any of the others, our 65 members keep it busy. We hope it will return soon, until then, if we're not in studio, we're probably at the car wash using their power washer.

We have been busy organizing and refining the shop. Spring cleaning you might say. Agata Michalowska, Instructor and Susan Clausen, AS220 property manager, install finishing touches to our Intaglio set up.

The first Intaglio class is coming to a close. To sign up for May's Introduction to Intaglio visit the AS220 Store

Check out letterpress superstar Kat Cummings' latest project...New bike tags for local bike shop the Hub! Designed by design superstar Jackson Morley, and printed right here in the AS220 printshop, this delightful collab provided the Hub with printed tags with boxes for writing bike size and price. On the back side is the Hub's directions for the care and maintenance for your new bike. These gems were both printed perfection and well considered design. While in the store I witnessed the sale of bike, attached to the receipt was the information card.
