We printed these tote bags for 7 Ton Co: Located in the mountains of Asheville, North Carolina, was born from three creative minds and a singular goal to do good work. Each project is approached with a high level of expertise, an artisan touch and a healthy dose of curiosity. They work with individuals and companies small and large on a local, national and international level to create well-designed print items ranging from invitations, stationery and posters to brand identity suites, packaging and handmade journals.

We printed some patches for Lucky Sheep Sleeping bags.

They have created the world's first wool sleeping bag. It has all of the advantages of wool (it is eco-friendly and non-toxic), yet they are lightweight enough for any trail.

Support your local community radio. We do.

Asheville FM is a volunteer-based, grassroots community radio station. We want to hear music, news, and the unusual all produced right here in our neck of the woods. We want to hear sounds from around the world, discerned and distilled just for us by our neighbors. We want to help make connections between diverse groups and support the local economy of ideas.

We are very proud to print this new design for their spring fundraiser.

Design we did for Eliada homes.

Eliada’s mission is Helping Children Succeed.

Eliada’s vision is to provide an optimal learning environment that empowers children and their families to succeed. We envision a world where children’s needs are met in a caring environment.

To make this vision a reality, Eliada provides community-responsive, need-oriented care and support for children and families in crisis without regard to race, religion, or national origin. Programs are designed to address the physical, social, emotional, educational and spiritual needs of those in care. Services are offered within the context of the family whenever possible and by residential treatment when necessary. Each year, we care for over five hundred children.

The Wedge Run happens in Asheville, NC every Thursday at 6:15 pm . It is meant for people to run at their own pace, while enjoying the gorgeous French Broad, and ending at an amazing Artist-run brewery! Come have some fun with them.  We were so pleased  with the way these shirts/prints came out!

If you are a first time runner, they will even buy your drinks!!
