Our spring post: “For the Cosmos” a colourful screenprint by Chrissy Poitras featuring abstract flowers in a striped vase. #printpromptmonday (sparkboxstudio.com/product/for-...)

May have to convince Kyle to make more gem art, they’re some of my favs 💎 "Refinement" a copper plate etching with aquatint. I love the close-up of the plate, you can see the contrast between the etched lines & the untouched copper. #printmaker #art Online Shop: sparkboxstudio.com/product/etch...

Kyle’s been working on a new print and it features a large split fountain technique, something he’s never done before. He’s wanted to try this for a while and this piece called for it. #screenprint #printmaker #art

We love a studio hack! When we first opened we couldn’t afford one of those giant, beautiful metal drying racks. So Kyle made us a DIY drying rack that's on casters that rolls under our tables. 💛 #art #artstudio #diy

The Union Gallery is celebrating their 30th anniversary with a silent auction. Proceeds are split between the artist and the gallery. This is my piece, "To Gather", an acrylic work on paper. Auction closes April 25: www.zeffy.com/en-CA/ticket...

We have been deep into #etching lately.
This print is an oldie but a goodie—Kyle made it back when we were still using Future Floor Wax as our hardground (yes, the floor polish 😅). We actually loved this process - it was cost effective, easy to make and easy to clean-up.

My entry for #printpromptmonday - the theme is Magic!

The the joy on Kyle's face when he pulls a great print! #etching #printmaker

#PrintPromptMonday theme is #Foliage

This is my "Happiness Is" screenprint based on a collection of flowers drawn as part of a larger mural piece.

“Cat Book” is one of our all-time bestsellers at craft sales, because, well… how can you not fall for a musical feline surrounded by antique books? 🐈‍⬛🎻 This is a photopolymer plate printed on the Vandercook. bit.ly/4iA6NMY

Spent a great day printing this two colour #etching in the shop yesterday. #printmaker #artistinstudio

Trying to be realistic about art making vs social media posting.
Art making always comes first—it’s the heart of what we do—and to follow our human rhythms, not the algorithms (thanks @andyjpizza.bsky.social for those wise words).

Getting to use these old presses is such a highlight to being a printmaker! We genuinely love making original handmade prints and having a studio that’s also a museum for print history is an added bonus! #printmakers Can you relate?

The great thing about being an artist during the winter is you can print yourself flowers. 💐 #silkscreen #floralart #printmaker

Kyle’s fictional worlds have always reflected on real-world issues. In Monolith, the first question on these men’s minds isn’t ‘What is this incredible new life form?’ but rather ‘How quickly can we monetize it?’ #Printmaking #polymerplate #letterpress #reliefprint
