Green Pea Press - Screen Shop
Founded by Rachel Lackey in 2011 as the first community printshop in Alabama, Green Pea Press grew exponentially over 11 years, offering memberships, workshops, demonstrations and field trips, custom printing services, on-site event printing, wholesale and retail items. Our printmaking studio and retail shop were located on the first floor of Lowe Mill ARTS & Entertainment in Huntsville, Alabama, the largest independent arts center in the nation. Our 4,200sqft low-toxicity working studio provided resident and local artists access to equipment in a variety of fine art print media, including block printing, monotype, intaglio, and letterpress.
The Pea Pod, our retail space, offered a broad range of items for sale that were hand-printed in-house by members and employees of Green Pea Press. In 2015, we opened a second location at 2720 Governors Drive to house our screen printing facilities, just a few blocks up the street. In early 2022, we closed our Lowe Mill studio and ended our collective operations, moving toward a sustainable model of production printing, fundraising, and selling our own brand of printed apparel and goods while maintaining our high standards, artistic roots, and passion for helping our community. We continue to conduct our custom printing production at our Governors Drive shop Monday through Friday, with a small retail area in the front. In 2023, we expanded operations into an additional building in the back for heat pressing, sublimation, and direct-to-garment (DTG) printing.
