TACOMA WAYZGOOSE

2026

Tacoma Wayzgoose is a community letterpress, printmaking, and book arts extravaganza hosted by Write253. Meet local printers and view their wares, print your own keepsakes, make paper and bind books. A highlight of the weekend is steamroller printing, where local artists carve

2 x 3-foot sheets of linoleum and print on giant paper. It's pretty cool.

Tacoma WAYZGOOSE SWAP MEET

Join us for a special Letterpress & Printmaking Swap Meet as part of the Tacoma Wayzgoose celebration of print culture.

This is a gathering for printers, artists, collectors, and anyone who loves the craft of ink and paper. Bring your extra tools, type, presses, cuts, or equipment to swap, sell, or trade with fellow printmakers and enthusiasts.

Whether you're an experienced printer or just curious about the world of letterpress, this is a great opportunity to connect with Tacoma’s vibrant print community, discover unique equipment, and share knowledge with others who care about the craft.
