Print Garden

Let your ideas leave a mark.

Print Garden is a sawtooth-roof studio with skylights, a courtyard and a place to make a mess, with a paint tin, a little print machine and a little manuscript.

Resident Stencil, the cheerful experiment

The little story

Print Garden

Print Garden is a little studio where ideas are allowed to make mistakes. A printer sits on the bench, a stack of paper waits nearby and a misprint has bloomed into a small paper flower right at the front.

Stencil is the cheerful experiment who keeps that flower where everyone can see it. Paint pots line the bench in bright colors, and every one of them has been opened at least once, which is the only real rule of the studio.

It suits a printmaker, a small-batch designer or a maker who likes a studio that shows its trial prints. The garden is free to start with and grows as your ideas do.
