Tellus grafik is a printshop and studio at Midsommarkransen in Stockholm.

I (Jenny) have printed for artists in the last ten years. Since 2017 I have the opportunity to do it in my own printshop; tellus grafik. I print intaglio (for example: etchings, drypoints, photopolymers) but also other techniques such as monotypes, woodcuts, letterpress and silk screen.

On our FAG Control 405 we print small texts and images from led and wooden types. We also make cliches out of laser cut wood and photopolymer materials as well as traditional woodcuts.

I started using this press for my own artist books which have original graphics, mostly colour woodcuts and handset metal type. The books are limited edition and are signed and numbered. I also print books in commission from other artists. I show my work regularly at the Frankfurt Book Fair and other exhibitions.
