Lately Jessica has been cooking up something pretty great.

Thanks to her hard work and our wonderful curator Brian Hutcheson‘s invitation, we are pleased as punch to announce our first-ever dual exhibition!

It seems weird that after more than two years of collaborating, giving lectures and printing in the street, we’ve never had an honest-to-goodness show together.

But when Brian offered us a cavernous space, his help with installation, and the chance to indoctrinate the innocent introduce our series to the kids at Charles Wright—well, we’d be nuts to pass that up.

For the first time, all nine (and-a-half) broadsides to date, plus our two steamroller gals, are on display together.

We also have a little mini-exhibit about our process,

and lots of little goodies to introduce people to letterpress.

We’re rounding out the show with a few pieces of our individual broadside work, as well (you can see mine over at my studio blog). We hope you’ll have as much fun seeing the work as we did putting it on display. Big thanks to Brian and Charles Wright Academy for having us!
