Screen Printing has a long and storied history that spans over 1,000 years of artistic and industrial pursuits. In the western world during the 1930′s the term “Serigraphy” popped up to denote when the process was being used toward a creative end. Artists like Warhol and Lichtenstein helped to strengthen the interest in screen printed artwork, utilizing the process throughout the Pop Art movement. Meanwhile, advertisers and promoters were using screen printing techniques to their own ends creating marketing materials for products, services, conventions and sporting events.

Our customer Elizabeth Massa from Elizabeth Massa Photography printed her wedding invitations and menus with us last October and we loved the cute ewe theme and fall color palette. 

To top off all the excitement of her November nuptials, her wedding was selected and featured on Martha Stewart Weddings and we were fortunate enough to get a little shout out on there! Thank you Elizabeth and Celeste for tagging us in there. We wish you both the happiest of times together!

If you’re looking for inspiration for your wedding see how Elizabeth and Celeste did it, with a gorgeous rural, farmstead wedding weekend. And if you need help with the designing and printing, just give us a ring, we’re ready!
