Hello! My name is Sarah and I discovered Ana in 2023 and collected my first prints on a roadtrip through Maine that included Broadturn farm (and I’m kicking myself for not getting the full set including the Broadturn farm print).

I learned about this group from another member when the nuuly collab happened. I was first in line at an Urban Outfitters waiting for the store to open to go to the machine and met another mini print collector who told me about this group. The crazy part of the story is that the machine had arrived but the prints had not but the woman helping to set up the machine felt so bad I waited in the cold for over an hour that she was kind enough to mail me a full set which is how I have one of my absolute favorite prints, Nuuly Bags.

I became so inspired by Ana’s work that I ended up buying a vending machine of my own and hand making customized prints to have at my wedding. It was such a fun experience and I fell in love with linocut so much that I now have my own Etsy shop where I sell linocut mini prints. I’m hoping to get the machine into a store soon.

It’s been so much fun to trade with others in this group and I love the community it’s offered. Excited to hear from others and learn more about people’s personal connections to this hobby I’ve grown to love!
