Makers: Portland’s Plywerk
Looking for a handsome, sustainable way to display your photographs, illustrations or other images? Check out Plywerk, who’ll print your pics on archival-quality paper and mount them on FSC-certified bamboo or maple plywood for an elegant, simple framing solution.
From murky basement impulse to Saturday Market booth to co-op shop to image mounting mavens, Plywerk’s growth has been as organic as their products. “We are part of the local economy,” they say on their site, “and know that growth means the growth of our partners and community.” And they put their money where their copywriting is with a 20% discount to all students, full-time artists and photographers.
So rather than print your next photoset with another anonymous photoprinting dot-com, check out Plywerk; they also offer bamboo blanks and a collection of art photographs made by co-founder Kim Nguyen and others.
As part of the launch of Collective Snapshot—a regular feature in our monthly newsletter, Off The Grid—on nau.com, we’ve teamed up with Plywerk to award the winner of the monthly photo contest a Plywerk-framed print of their pic. To enter, just email your photo to share@nau.com, or visit Collective Snapshot for more information.
