A Roof and a Press.

So we’ve got a studio set up.  It’s in the basement underneath the Beacon Cinema, here in Pittsfield.  And when I say basement, I mean just that.  It’s an open floorplan, and it’s got overhead lights and good window light during the day, but that’s it.  There are no outlets, no running water (save for the bathroom over in the finished end of the basement that I can fill a bucket from).

So, good for us that we don’t need any of that nonsense.  We’re decidedly low tech here, we’ve got a few tables, a locker, a slop sink, a whole mess of hand tools, a few chemicals, ink and a press.  We’re all set.

So, that’s that.

We’ve got work to do.

By the by, special thanks to Sophie Lee over at Miss Hall’s School for letting us use their press until we can arrange for our presses to climb the mountain.
