During this week’s US Open of Surf, the homies at Hurley will be hosting a pop-up art shop called the “Hurley Printing Press.” Curated by the renowned Hurley artist Craig Stecyk, “The Hurley Printing Press is an interactive atelier where athletes, artists and the community come together to pursue explorations of craft hand printing on posters, T’s and whatever else pops up.”

The first printing press will be hosted by Livery Design Gruppe in Huntington Beach, CA from July 22 – July 28. During the week the space will be home to the six Hurley Printing Press artists — including Jersey Joe, Dalek, Madsteez, Craig Stecyk, Tim Hendricks, and the Hurley Art Department — and each day a featured artist will host the curated space, displaying his art and hand-printing tees of his own designs with a Charles Brand etching press. All tees and prints are designed exclusively for the Hurley Printing Press and will be available for $30 exclusively at each Hurley Printing Press location, followed by a limited run online.
Hurley pro athletes will also be on hand to meet and greet with the fans and print some custom tees including Julian Wilson, Lakey Peterson, Carissa Moore, Jay Adams (legendary Dogtown skateboarder), Kolohe Andino and more.
