Yesterday I stopped by an Open Studio reception for Artist Kristina Hagman at Sideral Press in Tukwila.  I have written about Kristina and her Art several times on the DANIEL SMITH Blog and her “36 Views of Mt Rainier“.  I was excited to see her work again, and for the first time, ALL 36 prints were hanging on a single wall.  It is striking to see the prints all together…just awesome like Mt Rainier itself as you look up to see the prints laid out 3 high and 12 across.
 
Sidereal Press is in a renovated “barn” and is a gorgeous space where owner Sheila Coppola works with artists hand printing the artwork on some amazing presses.  Sheila and Kristina showed me the cool old press (I think I was told it was a newspaper letterpress) that they pulled Kristina’s’ prints from.  They gave me a little demo to show me how it worked, which was fascinating.  Thank you Kristina and Sheila!
