🐸 Studio Print Frog® Glass Baren™ — Compact Studio Edition
The original Print Frog® Glass Baren™ designed for everyday relief printing.
 
Designed by printmaker Matt Bagley in 2013, the Print Frog® Glass Baren™ was created to give artists consistent hand-printing results without the need for a printing press.
The Studio Compact Edition offers the trusted performance of the Studio Print Frog® in a slightly smaller format—ideal for artists who want a versatile, comfortable tool for smaller relief printing.
 
With its balanced weight, smooth glass surface, and ergonomic handle, this Print Frog® provides excellent control for artists working in home studios, classrooms, and professional print environments.
