Rebecca Gilbert (Pacific Northwest College of Art, BFA ##### ’97) of Stumptown Printers has been at the heart of Portland’s independent publishing scene for over a decade.
Standing in the cavernous, 4,500-square-foot shop letterpress and print shop Stumptown Printers, the clickity-clack of presses creates an intoxicating rhythm. The oily smell of ink draws visitors in further, while the vibrant collection of posters produced by this co-operative becomes a feast for the eyes. Stumptown Printers is not your typical print shop and PNCA alumna Rebecca Gilbert, one of its founders, is not your typical entrepreneur.
