    Thanks again everyone!!

    Thank you again everyone who contributed to the purchase of the press! It's going to take just a little over a month for it to come in but I am sooooo excited to be able to look forward to printing this summer.

    Thanks to Recent Backers!

    Thanks go out to Ken May, my latest backer! I'm working on building a surge here in the last few days remaining on the Kickstarter project. The idea of being able to work on etchings again after a long stretch away from the process is a really exciting prospect. I've been roughing out ideas this morning in the studio of what I'd like to do. I plan on jumping on printing as soon as the press comes in.

    Thanks again everyone!
    Mary
