Brick Press is an independent publisher (or small press) local to Vancouver. Run by Ryan Smith and Kelin Kaardal, Brick Press prints and distributes various publication projects, often by other local artists in Vancouver or other independent printers and publishers.
As an independent publisher, Brick Press is not associated with large corporations or high-budget market distribution, but rather focuses on distributing local, and perhaps more niche content that would be difficult to find in wider publishing markets.
Their studio uses a mechanical offset printing press and various book-binding equipment to create their publications, all done start to finish by hand (this is a lot of work!). Distribution of their books occurs at book fairs, galleries, online, and at their shop.

247 Main Street, Vancouver, BC -- Open Sundays from 12-5 pm.
