The Marble Print Bar

Running out of table space mid-edition? This bar hangs from your ceiling and holds 17 freshly printed linocuts or woodcuts in open air. Glass marbles gently wedge each print in place.

No clips. No pressure points. Just a clean, dry print when you come back to it.

How it works:

Slide a freshly printed sheet between the marble and the wood. The marble holds it upright while it dries, then lifts out clean, no marks left behind. Three pre-installed eye hooks (two ends, one center) keep weight evenly distributed.

What you get:

Solid wood bar, 36" long x 1.5" wide x 1.8" tall
Hand-finished with water-based matte varnish
17 glass marbles in your choice of color: white, green, black, clear, opaque blue, or clear blue (message me before ordering for other color availability)
Three pre-installed eye hooks
Choice of hard maple or walnut
Holds 17 prints

You'll supply your own rope and ceiling hardware to fit your space.

Built to grow with your practice:

One bar covers a small studio run. Two gives you room for regular edition work. Three handles a full edition with space to spare.

Single Bar (17 prints) — $158
Studio Pair (34 prints) — $298 (save $18)
Edition System (51 prints) — $449 (save $25)

Bars can hang level or staggered. Adding a second or third bar later is simple.

A note on paper:

This bar is built for freshly printed sheets and prints between color layers, not soaking-wet paper. Fully saturated paper can mark where it touches the marble.

Processing time is two weeks. You'll get a shipping notice once it's on its way
