Last week I had the great pleasure of visiting Esther Smith and Dikko Faust, proprietors of Purgatory Pie Press now located in Brooklyn NY. After four decades in Manhattan they’re now enjoying their wonderful studio in the Brooklyn Army Terminal. A huge, historic complex — the BAT was constructed a century ago as a depot for the US Military. It is now being repurposed for lease to artists and businesses. As always the PPP folks are working on some fun projects and collaborations. Dikko is printing a great new set of coasters on the showcard press and three books from the Cartesian Lace Bricolage, a collaboration with Susan Happersett, are featured in the show Pulled in Brooklyn at the International Print Center (IPCNY) in Manhattan.
Thanks to Esther and Dikko for having us over and helping us navigate NYC! Hope to see you again soon!
