FUSE PRESS
FUSE PRESS began in 2007 as a dream to make a printmaking studio in Cincinnati, OH. We began renovations of 221 Magnolia Street in the historic Over the Rhine neighborhood with little more than an idea and a lot of sweat equity. 10 years later, we finally were pulling prints and inviting visiting artists to live and work as Artists in Residence in 2017. The gallery for 221 Magnolia shows that journey.
2024 was a year of moving and putting more sweat equity to work. We were finding that the costs of operating a printmaking studio in the heart of the historic district and right next to the new FC Cincinnati stadium was becoming too costly. Serendipitously, Jen had been taking ceramic workshops at the world renowned Queen City Clay. Located in Norwood, Ohio, it is cited as one of the largest, if not the largest, public clay education facilities in the U.S. They had an unfinished space at the back of the facility and we were looking for a new home for FUSE PRESS. For all of 2024, we worked with Queen City Clay to build out the space into the new home of FUSE PRESS. Many hours were spent hanging drywall, etching and painting the floors, making the space ADA compliant and moving in the equipment. The gallery for 2700 Highland Avenue marks that journey.
