hello there.

Well, whaddya wanna know?  Here's the plain and simple truth:  My name is Rebekah Tennis and I love design.  I love paper, the way it feels, its weight and texture.  I love extra special touches on little things: homemade tags on gift-wrap, old stamps on an envelope, and twine on nearly everything.

My husband, business partner and all-around solid rock Matt would probably tell you that he likes tools - lots of 'em, finding the perfect way to do something, taking things apart, and precision in everything. 

So you might as well have guessed by now... we are the perfect match for an old letterpress studio. Together we farm rice and have a small but adorable two-year old son, Cameron.  This keeps us fairly busy, but whenever we have a spare moment, we crank up our 102 year old Chandler and Price platen press and pull some prints. 

There's more, oh yes, there IS more - but that's what this blog is for.  Take a look around, get to know us, our great town of Chico, California and our beautiful presses.

{ holiday } open house.

Howdy, folks.  We’re still here!  As in… not dead, moved out of country, and no, we haven’t quit letterpress. Not yet, anyway. I mention this because I did get a couple of concerned messages (even my parents noticed!!) with the blog having been a bit more, um, silent over the past two weeks. Nope, we...

kitchen remodel: source list

Well, we made it through kitchen week!  I hope yesterday’s post didn’t kill you – it was so loooooong.  Just understand, I felt a need to show my gratitude towards the people who graciously put their time into making a “how-to” so that complete strangers can have an easier time doing projects.  And wanted to...

le grand opening

We celebrated the grand opening of Wild Ink Press in June of 2009. Our studio was done (a fun/labor intensive remodeling project we’ll be sure to share about later), and we needed a deadline: to get our butts in gear and get all of our samples printed and to jumpstart the business. June was a...
