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 New Year!
This new year I made a resolution to have more time for artwork. I'm very excited to be able to share with you the result of this, our new "Wisdom of Trees" series.

These prints shown here are the original proof copies I've just finished printing on my letterpress. Within the next month, I will start printing a limited-edition run of the first of these original prints.
Approximately 14" x 17" matted, these prints will come in our Dark Ash mat, signed, and numbered by me.
Special Note: I'm very honored that the lithographic reproduction of these prints will become available for American Bungalow magazine subscribers. (They will be shrunk down and the image size will be approximately 6.5" x 8.5".) Please visit www.ambungalow.com to find out more.
NEW CARDS hot off the press!!

Some more exciting news from our studio: we just released our new Letterpress-printed cards, based on my linoleum block print designs. Spurred by moments of whimsy and laughter around our dining room table, we created these message cards. They'll be sure to delight those who love to send the note cards to good friends and families.
All of us at The Arts & Crafts Press wish you a New Year filled with peace and joy.
Cheers!
