Asbestos Press

‘It all started with a screen printing kit from an art store and a dingy asbestos filled basement’

I first ran into Laura Edmisten at a DIY thing a few years back. She had just started silkscreening notecards and other ephemera. Today she’s conquered the local band scene and expanding outward (her business, not her). She does super cool, limited run screened cards, notebooks, tote bags. And posters. With more to come.

Check out her Etsy store here. Website here. MySpace here.
