We recently did a print swap with the talented ladies at Permanent Press Editions in Brooklyn. We were SUPER lucky to receive two of their beautiful archival prints and in exchange we sent off one of our Dropped Brushstroke screenprints and a couple of sets of our brand new THANK YOU cards for good measure. Anytime is a good time for thanks we think!

At long last behold our complete set of images from the incomparably photogenic store that is Little Paper Planes, San Francisco. In addition to being a hub for the beautifully made and carefully curated, LPP is a huge supporter of artists and makers and even has a residency program that connects these creative individuals to collectors and the broader public. Love, love this store and so grateful that Print Club is among the LPP crew.

A few weeks back we arranged a print swap with fellow local screenprinters Trifecta Editions, and it was just this past weekend we were able to swap in person at the Pulp and Press event. We met Helen and Morgan and swapped #1 and #4 from The Grid The Trellis series, for artist Greg Lamarche's piece "Aumento" and artist David Buckley Borden's hilarious "Masshole Classic".

We needed to build a couple of hinge boards for upcoming print events today and we thought, what better time for a how-to? A hinge board is the lynchpin for any home based screenprint set-up and it's super easy to put together.

one. Purchase a piece of 3/4" MDF from the hardware store, we bought ours from Home Depot and they cut it down to size. For dimensions, we recommend about 2" extra on each edge beyond the size of your screen. MDF is good because it won't warp like plywood and its nice and heavy so won't shift around during printing.

two. Coat the MDF with a couple of coats of shellac or polyacrylic so that you can wipe paint off and protect the MDF from water damage. It can really soak up water and misshape. 

three. Grab your pair of hinges. Position and measure them at the top of your board. Mark the screw holes for drilling reference with a pencil. 

four. Drill a hole in the MDF in the middle of the markings. Line up the hinges and drill in your pair of screws. Your hinges are now tightly attached.

five. ta-da! That's it! Happy printing!
