Based in the Pacific Northwest, The Arts & Crafts Press was founded in 1996 by Bruce Smith and Yoshiko Yamamoto. We specialize in crafting letterpress printed note cards and limited-edition block prints. We work with the belief that art is not an object, it is a way of life. We strive to create things of beauty by using our head, our heart, and our hands.
Happy April!
Spring is here! Our hens are laying more eggs now than ever. Cherry blossoms are in full bloom. It is our favorite season.
To celebrate spring, we just issued a set of tulip cards in 3 colorways You can purchase an assortment set of six cards (with two cards each in red, purple, and yellow.) Or you can purchase individual colors of Tulips in Bloom: again, red, purple, and yellow separately.
New Prints
In addition to our colorful tulip note cards, we just released a limited-edition print "Tulip Field -Sunset", in this new alternate colorway, with a warm peachy glow of the sunset sky in springtime.
On April 26th, if you happen to be near Olympia, WA, please come and join us for the opening night reception at Childhood End Gallery in the evening. You can see the works of a few outstanding printmakers from the area and meet the artists in person, while enjoying the live gypsy jazz music!
This spring and summer I will be exhibiting at the following events; I hope to see you at one of these events!
Childhood End Gallery: April 26th – May 26th, Olympia, Washington (For a month my work will be exhibited with other printmakers’.)
Happy Spring!
