Carrie Shryock & Beth Snyder have been friends for, like, ever. They love to draw and canoe and, of course, run their letterpresses in Carrie's family farm barn in Callaway County, Missouri.
They print all of their artwork on two big hunks of iron: a 10x15 Chandle & Price named Roy, and his big bother, a 12x18 Chandler & Price named Charlie. They also have a guillotine paper cutter named Cuttina.
From Sketchbook to printed piece, every print they create is a handmade original. Their hand drawn scenes from daily life are then transformed into plates that they press onto beautiful paper for that one-of-a-kind letterpress feel.
