Hatch Show Print

Tuesday is Election Day, so we may have voting on our minds, but no matter. This little corner shared by Instagrammer @/aubryeliz is so welcoming and inspiring. Live with what you love, and harmony will follow.

Shhhh . . . we know we haven’t even filled our candy bags yet, but a little partridge in a pear tree told us that it’s going to be a *FESTIVE* holiday hootenanny in our neck of the woods this year. Stay tuned, and please send sugary treats to fuel our fanatical festive frivolity!

The 2027 Calendar is now available! For January, a copper etching in the print shop’s collection inspired this cozy view on a wintry eve. shop.hatchshowprint.com/prod…

Meet 2026 Hatch Show Print Visiting Arist Sarah Matthews! The YouTube interview about the body of work created for exhibit in Haley Gallery, *uter(us), and her time with us in the print shop is available now: youtu.be/jTD4xLPeFho

The 2027 Calendar is hot off the presses! The ten designer-printers who work in the shop every day divided up the year and followed their own muses to celebrate each month and the shop’s tools of wood and metal type and hand carved printing blocks. shop.hatchshowprint.com/prod…

This time of year, most of our type cases are pretty pilfered, like boxes of chocolate the day after Christmas. These two fonts are surprisingly intact in their cases, instead of in poster layouts waiting to be printed. Don’t they look like tasty pieces of candy?

Authentically Nashville, and full of stories, Hatch Show Print tours pack in lots of local flavor. And, there’s an opportunity to get a little inky too! Spend some time with us on your fall break visit—follow the link to check availability. hatchshowprint.com/visit

Tennessee Craft Fair (@tennesseecraft) family fun alert! Our Education Team will be on hand in the Kids Tent in Centennial Park to help you hand-ink and print the final layer of this commemorative piece on Friday, October 9—that’s tomorrow! See you there!

Shop life: one year ago, while working on the big 2026 calendar, we used sparkles to make April’s page pop. Apparently, they’ve been hitching a ride on this wood type ever since. Stay tuned for the big reveal of our 2027 calendar later this month!

Fellow inky hearts at @PrintMuseumCA in Carson, CA, are hosting the 18th Annual Los Angeles Printers Fair on October 17–18. We’ll be there to share some of the new things we’ve been making! For more information visit the fair website: printersfair.com/

Music City—poster making is in your hands. A selection of classic wood type from the type cases and hand-carved printing blocks come together as reusable stickers in this newest addition to the Hatch Show Print toy chest. Shop now in person or online: shop.hatchshowprint.com/prod…

What’re you up to this fall? We welcome visitors from across the country to Nashville on tours, in our gift shop, and through our windows as they watch what comes off the presses. It’s a joy to be able to share this shop. Make a plan to stop by or get inky with us!

Finally! A tote large enough to hold every book on your TBR list all at once, PLUS any other treasures you get from your local library or favorite bookshop. They’re outfitted with thick canvas, flat bottoms, and long handles. Stock up to stock up: shop.hatchshowprint.com/prod…

Shop life: from the ink plate to the print—here’s a split fountain that served double duty as a sunrise and sunset for two back-to-back shows.

An oldie but a goodie, sized for your wall or your noggin! 1430 on the AM dial (or WENO) was the only station committed to country music programming in the Nashville area in the mid-twentieth century. Shop now: shop.hatchshowprint.com/prod…

This life-is-good share from Instagrammer @tylerdwalker warms the cockles of our inky, inky hearts. No matter what we’re working on, we’re always hoping that the final print gets off the merch table and onto walls! Tag us if you post yours!

Nearly 100 years ago, Clyde Clack devised a series of illustrations intended to teach the handy skill of wood block carving. He turned to this thriving poster print shop to carve and print the blocks and fill orders for the instructional kits. They live on!
