Who We Are
Patchwerk Press started with a small forgotten piece of fabric,
a little dream, a bunch of ink and hell yeah, a lot of love.
Now we have a full silk-screening print shop, in a brand new space, with a collective group committed to bringing access to one of the oldest and most important art forms to the public.
Our members consist of artists, designers, mentors and teachers.
Sometimes you can even catch us out printing live.
printers coming together.
Check out the collective members bio's below.......
Lukas Whatwhat
Lukas likes making nice things and giving them away, he is tired of removing old laundromat floors and the like so now he's selling some of the art he makes, participate in his surroundings and staying out of jail. He has been making artstuff and assorted clownery for a bit now and is a pretty well happy feller that likes peope for the most part and wants you to be happy, too. Lukas is currently traveling around the world and we miss him very very much.
Trinity Cross of Field Day Wearables
Inspired by the grotesque amounts of textile waste, sweat shops, and cookie cutter designs, Trinity is striving to change the "fash-shun" industry one garment at a time. Her mission is too work and play with similarly minded designers to create an ecologically friendly, hand printed, unique and beautiful world. She strives to minimize textile waste by offering wearable works of art as an alternative to mass produced and sweat shop labored clothing. As an independent designer, she hopes to demonstrate the true value of hand made goods, while keeping products accessible to a wide market.
