Tugboat Printshop's intricate color woodcuts celebrate their natural world and humankind's relationship to it. With extreme focus on craft and detail, the artists build idealistic, nostalgic and meticulously patterned worlds with traditionally made prints. Rich color is layered in multiple impressions from hand-drawn, hand-carved and individually printed wood blocks.

All prints are published with high quality oil-based inks onto fine papers. Tugboat Printshop's narrative is one of sustainability, resourcefulness and an upbeat do-good attitude.
