Dear Friends— I’m sad to report that this is the end. We’ve printed our last run and Goosefish Press is closing permanently. Unfortunately, most of our business was wedding related and the COVID-19 pandemic had a devastating effect on this wedding season. Simply put, this isn’t a storm we could weather and I made the difficult decision to shutdown permanently.
I bought my first press in 2005 and had the pleasure of creating things almost on a daily basis for 15 years, I had a good run and leave with no regrets at all. I’d like to thank all of my former assistants for all their help, hard work, and support, I couldn’t have done it without them!
For those of you that are former clients, thank you for your support! For those of you who were friends and admirers, I appreciate you too! I’m optimistic that my presses will find a good home and they will continue to be used to make beautiful things in someone else’s good hands.
When things open up more in the future, please visit my friends in neighbors in SoWa and spend liberally at the shops and galleries there, they’ll need the help!
Lastly, please don’t let this closure be in vain! Practice social distancing, wear a mask, stay home as much as possible, and let’s beat the coronavirus! I’m not the only small business to go under because of the pandemic, but don’t let this loss be for nothing. Stay home, stay smart, and be well. Best of luck to all of you!!
