pistachio press

{a little about me}
I'm an artist (trained as a printmaker) living and working in Rochester, NY. In addition to running Pistachio Press, I also teach at an area university.

{a bit about letterpress}
During the summer of 2003 I drove to Ohio to buy my first letterpress. I have been printing since then and continue to be in love with the process and materials involved in letterpress (and printmaking in general)! I also love to work collaboratively (it's the printmaker in me!).

{and some more about pistachios}
Pistachio Press was officially born on a NYC subway in the summer of 2007. I had been trying to decide on a press name and I really wanted a bit of alliteration. After a round of brainstorming, a friend jokingly suggested Pistachio Press (since the plane we flew in on had offered pistachio biscotti) and the name clicked!

{about our practices}
Pistachio Press is committed to using environmentally conscious studio practices. We use rubber-based inks and biodegradable citrus-based solvents for press clean-up. We print on 100% tree-free cotton papers or recycled papers that contain at least 30% post-consumer waste and we either re-use or recycle our office and shipping supplies.
