Big Leaf Print & Graphics

Hey everyone! Our friends over at Georgette Packaging in Kirchener have recently developed a cute, light hearted Quarantine Notebook as a fun distraction from some of the more daunting aspects of this period. But aside from that, it also a fundraiser for the local hospitals and front line workers. Our goal is to raise $2000 through notebook sales. ... I've posted the link here, and they should also be available through the GRH site later today or tomorrow. Thank you for the support! Www.kwstayshome.com

2 years later and our capabilities have only grown!

In the end, we can not forget the joy that the arts bring to our lives. #supportart #supportsmallbiz

A fun, creative option during this quarantine period! Jot down your day to day during isolation and read some fun facts along the way! Locally designed and manufactured! ... And Carbon Neutral! Find them here: https://turtle-circle-tdtc.squarespace.com/

Love this community!

Good evening everyone, I am writing this note today with a heavy heart. Due to unforseen events in my personal life, I will be stepping away for Big Leaf. I have spent the past 3.5 years happily, and steadily growing Big Leaf within the Wilmot & Waterloo arts communities. I have met and connected with countless artists, makers and creators. All of whom are immensely talented in their respective fields, and who have shown me a level of love and support through this journey th...at I'm not sure I will ever know how to properly acknowledge. We became family. I hope to stay connected with all of you, albeit on a smaller scale, and continue to support your growth in any way I can. In the meantime, I will be slowly winding down operations at 555 Snyders. While I still have a few projects to wrap up (thank you for your patience!!) my capacity to take on new work will be quite limited. For the time being, e-mail will be the best form of contact and my availability will be limited to occasional evenings and weekends. If, by chance, there is anyone out there who would like to continue growing this art oriented space for the Wilmot community, please feel free to reach out and we can discuss the options. I want to thank you all for everything you have given me. For trusting me with your cherished art, your personal creations and most importantly with your valued time. It has been an incredible pleasure to service you all, and I am looking forward to continue our relationships in the next chapter. Keep creating, in art and in life. Kris

It's only 3 days into December but the #wilmotawesome community is on top of their Christmas shopping for 2019! . . . Due to the high volume of projects we have accepted over the last two weeks, we will no longer be taking on projects with completion dates for Christmas or earlier. . . . However, we do have December appointments available for projects that can be finished after Christmas and into the New Year! Check the booking link in our bio for available appointments! . . . Thank you to our loyal customers for keeping their art projects local this holiday season...we couldn't do it without you! . . #wilmotawesome #badenawesome #kwmakers #canadianmakers #makersgonnamake #frameshop #printshop #lovemyjob #Entreprenuer

As always we get excited when little pieces of local history come through the shop.... . . . We recently re-framed this Peter Etril Snyder original painting (circa 1989) for the head office of @kindredcreditunion. Hats off to their facilities and design team for collaborating on this modern, yet classy update for such a historic piece.... . . . #localhistory #kwawesome #wrarts #frameshop #interiordesign #update #wilmotawesome #badenawesome #kwmakers #smallbusiness #lovemyjob @ Baden, Ontario See more

This is a strong #community we have out here...

And talent from afar!

So much local talent!

Dolla, dolla, bills y'all!... . . . Actually though, it was a pleasure to frame this sheet of 1973 Canadian $1 bills. Heck, I had never even seen a one dollar bill before! . . . With UV filtering glass by @truvueglazing and a gold finish frame by @larsonjuhl, this piece of Canadian history will be well conserved for future generations...while looking good at the same time! . . . Have a little piece of your own history to display for your guests? Come drop into our shop in Baden ( #wilmotawesome ) and let us help you pick out a design that works for you. (And yes, we will print your images too!!) . . . #kwmakers #badenawesome #frameshop #printshop #bigleaf #aspiretoinspire #interiorandhome #canadianmakers #lovelocal #kwfamous

Little bit of signage we did recently for the gentlemen over at @cvemortgage. Not only is this a great team of local #Entreprenuers but they also have one of the greatest offices in the area...
