🐸 Studio Print Frog® Glass Baren™
The Original Glass Baren for Relief Printmaking
 
Designed by master printmaker Matt Bagley and produced by Iron Frog Press, the Studio Print Frog® Glass Baren™ is the original hand-printing tool created for artists who want consistent relief prints without a printing press.
 
Trusted by artists, educators, students, and print studios, the Studio Print Frog® combines the weight and smooth surface of glass with an ergonomic design that helps create clean, even impressions at any skill level.
 
Why Choose the Studio Print Frog® Glass Baren™
 
Ergonomic Design for Comfortable Printing
The rounded handle allows natural wrist movement while helping distribute pressure evenly across your block. Designed for comfortable use during longer printing sessions.
 
Versatile Relief Printing Tool
Perfect for small to medium relief blocks, including:
• Linoleum
• Wood
• MDF
• Collagraph
• Fabric printing
• Chine-collé projects
Not recommended for encaustic monoprinting.
 
Hand-Blown Recycled Glass — Made in Texas
Each Studio Print Frog® is individually hand-blown from recycled glass by skilled glass artists. Because every piece is handmade, variations in size, shape, color, and small air bubbles are natural characteristics of the process.
 
These variations are not defects—they are part of what makes each Print Frog unique.
 
Tested by the Creator
Matt Bagley personally tests every Studio Print Frog® before it leaves Iron Frog Press to ensure quality, balance, and performance.
