Paul Roden and Valerie Lueth of Pittsburgh, PA make up the collaborative efforts of one of my favorite print-making outfits, Tugboat Printshop. I often cannot believe my eyes at the amazing attention to detail that these two put into making each woodcut block. Check out their house, studio, and work in action here.


Also, I'm OH SO INSPIRED by their new showcase idea... A Tugboat Printshop Printcart!

Their new print cart was recently featured at the Art Star Craft Bazaar in Philadelphia.


You can check it out for yourself, live and in person, tomorrow, May 27th from 10AM - 5PM at The Mattress Factory in Pittsburgh, PA.
If you can't make it out to the Printcart tomorrow, you have two more chances: June 10th and June 20th.
