NESTLED in the forest along the banks of the Cedar River in Northern Michigan's Antrim County, Deep Wood Press has continued the tradition of hand crafted printed items, bindings and book matter. With a foundation in fine art and a careful attention to craftsmanship and detail the end result is more than a vehicle for information.

Our books are printed via letterpress with handset types on fine papers and illustrated with quality artwork from original wood engravings, lino cuts and intaglio prints. These sheets are then bound by hand in traditional and contemporary book structures to please the eye as well as the mind – which we endeavor to impress as carefully as our papers.

   Finally, after many years (and a faster intenet access) Chad's work in intaglio printmaking and wood engraving are available for viewing and purchase via the website. Many of these works can be found in some of our editioned books and also in select galleries across the country. This is only a beginning, many more will be posted once time allows for quality scans, photos and shopping cart buttons to be made.

   We produced a broadside for Between the Lakes: an Interlochen Symposium for Writers and Readers, which featured a previously unpublished poem, September Inverness by keynote speaker and former U.S. Poet Laureate Robert Hass.

Upcoming events:

September 9th - 5th Annual Kerrytown Bookfest in Ann Arbor. Chad will be demonstrating intaglio printing. Stop by if you're in town and enjoy the fellowship of fine books and related arts.

November 1st, Frederik Meijer Gardens annual Holiday Gift Show. Come buy the stuff! Many items will be available that will never be on the website.

The 3rd Thursday of every month Chad will be leading a live  model drawing session for the newly formed Parkside Arts Counsil and Artists Alliance here at home in Antrim County in the village of Bellaire. Website coming soon. Also on the 4th Thursday of each month there will be an artists critique night led by Peter Balestrieri. 




In addition to producing books and fine intaglio artwork we also take occasional pleasure in providing custom invitations, announcements, and industrial ephemera for clients.  Check out the Services Offered link to view samples and perhaps gather ideas for your own upcoming projects that we may assist with.
