PBS's Craft in America
On December 11, 2015 The Arts & Crafts Press was featured on the Celebration episode of PBS's national show Craft in America.
Last winter, the Craft in America team visited the shop and followed Yoshiko as she took our newest card, Winter Cardinals, from initial sketches, to carving, and finally to print production.
Also featured on the episode is Motawi Tile, and the making of their Winter Cardinals tile based off of Yoshiko's card design.
American Bungalow Magazine Feature
We are excited to share that The Arts & Crafts Press was featured in the Arts & Crafts Profile Issue 86 of American Bungalow Magazine. Written by Rebecca Treon, the article covers our history, process and ideals.
"During the past two decades, Yoshiko Yamamoto had drawn on the world around her to find inspiration for linoleum cut, woodblock prints, and letterpress designs at her company, The Arts & Crafts Press. The company (run with husband Bruce Smith) started out in California and now calls Tacoma, Wash., home, where the natural beauty of the Northwest captures Yoshiko's sensibilities. The Arts & Crafts Press is approaching its 20th anniversary, though it draws on a much longer history in both influence and process."
Excerpt from “Paddling North” by Audrey Sutherland
Yoshiko illustrated a book by Audrey Sutherland about a woman's solo ocean adventures, published by Patagonia Books. Here is an excerpt from the book, featured in Patagonia, UK article.
