Why Choose the Studio Print Frog® Glass Baren™?
 
Ergonomic Design for Comfortable Handprinting
The Studio Print Frog® features a soft, rounded handle that supports natural movement and steady pressure. Its balanced weight helps reduce strain on the wrist, arm, and shoulder while delivering clean, even impressions.
 
Superior Performance on Multiple Surfaces
Ideal for relief printing on kozo and mulberry papers, heavyweight etching papers, vellum, copy paper, silk, and more. Also well suited for paper folding, chine-collé, registration preparation, and holding paper steady during precision work.
 
Hand-Blown Recycled Glass — Made in Texas
Each Studio Print Frog® is individually hand-blown by skilled Texas artisans using recycled glass. Variations in size, shape, and color are natural characteristics of the handmade process. Small air bubbles may be present and are not considered defects—each tool is truly one of a kind.
 
Tested & Approved by the Creator
Every Print Frog® Glass Baren™ is personally hand-tested by Matt Bagley to ensure proper balance, durability, and consistent performance.
