Let’s make a print!
Graham Stephens is a printmaker living in Columbus, Ohio. He can most often be found in his studio, rolling out ink and drinking an iced coffee. When not there, he’s probably in front of a glowing screen.

Since 2014, Diode Press has been producing hand-carved block prints, Printmaking Tools, etchings, and mezzotints of all sizes.
While most projects you find here were made with different applications of ink, paper, and pressure, you might also find 3D-printed robots, laser cut storage cases, resin castings, and handmade tools.
Nothing is off limits if it pushes a project forward, and mixing traditional printmaking techniques with cutting edge technology is right where Diode Press wants to be.
