JAM’s new project, “Stecncil n’ Spread” has been published!

There are many studios and independent publishers specializing in stencil printing all over the world. This is a project to interview people who has passion for this special and weired printing and ask them what we are curious about, and publish a free paper on an irregular basis.

Concurrently with the interviews, we are also publishing a map of the world with a collection of stencil printing studios. It consists of information provided by the owners of each studio.

By clicking on the marks on the map, you can browse each studio’s website, SNS, the types of printing they handle, the number of inks they use, and their self-introductions.

*This map first released in December 2022, with updates as needed.
