Bay Park Press was founded in San Diego by proprietors Sibyl Rubottom and Jim
Machacek in 2000 to foster the production of artists' books and prints,
and to promote interest in the letterpress process. Periodic classes
are offered to the community and space is available for San Diego
artists to create print and book projects for yearly, monthly or daily
fees. The facility includes Vandercook and Kelsey letterpresses, a
Charles Brand etching press, a Chandler Price guillotine and an ever
growing selection of lead type. The Bay Park Press Gallery presents
several print and book art exhibitions every year representing local,
regional and national artists.
