What a great little shop, fantastic art and a cool vibe! LOVE this place

A unique little gem in Point Reyes Station just about a 90 minute bucolic drive from San Francisco, amid all the oyster joints and other epicurean delights scattered throughout Marin.
We took a half day class, which was the perfect activity after spending time in the car, printing up holiday cards on lino block thingamajigs. It was great fun carving up the lino and using the old school hand printing tools and presses. Such a great feeling to learn and make things by hand.
The owner is very accommodating, patient and a marvelous teacher. Oh and she’s got everything there for you, all we had to do was show up.
The shop is really cool, very laid back atmosphere and the owner has done a tremendous job decorating and adding all the little rustic nouveau touches, very nor Cal coast.
It’s worth checking out even if you don’t take a printing lesson, lots of art, prints, books, totes, towels and other stuff for sale.
It made for a perfect day out in Marin.
My girlfriend enjoyed the art printing lesson so much she bought some gift certificates for her parents and friends.

You can sense the cool vibe just walking up to the enormous old doors… Inside is filled with tons of cool artwork on posters and linens and cards and whatever else, and you’ve got to be impressed by the old-​school machinery that she works on. There’s a really cool thing that looks like a tortilla press on steriods, but I think it actually has something to do with screenprinting instead…
There’s also art supplies, like blank journals and watercolors and pencils and that kind of stuff. Plus, cool comfy couches, lots of cool books, a couple guitars and ukulele’s. There’s community music events and classes, all sorts of stuff to get your creative juices going. And since it’s at the end of town, it’s a little less crowded by the weekend tourists. A great place to just sit and hang out and watch the town!
