how to get involved

Fire Press Library (FPL) is an ever growing collection of cast metal brands and stamps. It begins with a 2D design which is then used to create a stamp and for some designs to fabricate a cast metal brand of the image. Once the stamps & brand are fabricated they are added to the library which is shared with future workshop participants. Participants are invited to submit a design to be considered for the library and the cycle begins again.

Steps and requirements for submitting a design in the ‘Call for Art’ section below.

If your design is selected you will be added to FPL's artist directory and given a "library card" which gives you access to use of the brand library's hot stamp collection for life! Appointments for use can be made in Minneapolis and in select cities when FPL is on the road.
