We Moved!
M.C.Pressure HAS moved! Not out of Saint Augustine. Just a few blocks down, and around the corner.
After five years in West King, our studio decided to make a considerable move to 39 Masters Street. Let us be a smidge sentimental and take a trip down memory lane.
Early Beginnings
In 2014, Ryan Tempro started what would later become M.C.Pressure. In true start-up fashion, Ryan put a small press on a kitchen table and got to work. From there, he moved his printing to his new workplace alongside Yield Design - a design and manufacturer. A year or so later Yield moved to their new warehouse down the road, leaving the space available.
Hello, Spacecamp Co.
I mean, Future Friends
Before Ryan decided to pursue M.C.Pressure full-time, he split his time between working at Yield, and burning the midnight oil printing. The space was too good to give up, and didn’t need it all to himself. Enter in stage right: Future Friends (formerly Spacecamp Co.), a graphic design company filled to the brim with donut connoisseurs. In the following years, we collaborated on a lot of exciting projects and transformed the 201 W King Space into a small meeting place for creatives- student talks, markets, art exhibits, typography celebrations, photography shows, and the ever-crucial Pie Parties.
In this space, M.C.Pressure grew. We developed a storefront that subtly hinted on our love for plants and stationery. Dani also became a team member. Eventually, she began bringing in her puppy, Winston- the undefeated and undisputed employee of the month every month.
New Studio
How do you move a letterpress machine? Very carefully (spoiler alert: they are super heavy; collectively about 13,550lbs).
And preferably not in Florida Summer weather. Unfortunately, we were only cued in on the carefully part. So after a solid sweat-drenched week, M.C.Pressure became an official member of the Masters Drive Crew.
If you’re curious about the new space, our doors are always open. Come say hello! Or stay tuned for our upcoming open studio tour and holiday market!
