We are moving our Knoxville studio and store after 25 years downtown on Gay Street and would like to invite you all to come to the last SUPER SALE at our old location - downtown - 413 S. Gay Street, Knoxville, TN 37902
Sale goes from September 2 until September 17 , from Noon-6pm - everything must go. Bring a truck for great deals on letterpress type cabinets.

No Refunds
We are having a massive paper goods sale, prints, posters, greeting cards, blanks, envelopes and other goodies, all at rock bottom prices. This will be the last chance for some of these relics. ART
Literally tons of antique cabinets, typography (wood and metal), leading, antique blocks, plates and cuts, for a peek at some of those items click black button below. I will have much more than pictured but will update as I get more out and priced. ***If you want to set up a printshop - talk to me, I can help you***
Vintage western wear and Native American jewelry 30-50% off on select items. We will not have boots or fancy suits on sale. Cowboy Phil gathering good stuff, pix to come. All baseball jerseys will be on sale for all you vintage baseball fans! Some sneak peeks to come.
I want to thank a few of the important printers patrons along my journey of reviving a lost art, letterpress hand set type and hand printing - These folks helped me find the most desirable, unique and rare type, cuts and equipment and answered countless questions. I am not closing my shop - I will continue to have my Pioneer House Press but this is a chance for me to pass along my knowledge and treasures to other printmakers.
