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.

About two weeks ago, my hunter/gatherer (um, Matt) shot himself a few rabbits on the ranch. And, yes, he did have appropriate licensing, etc. we don’t want...

le grand opening trois: people

Well, an opening wouldn’t be an opening without people coming to it, and we were blessed to have some wonderful, high-quality folks at the launch of Wild Ink Press. Thanks go in large part to my in-laws, Lance and Audrey, who are community pillars and very well-known and liked everywhere. Our event was on the...
