About Bricolage Press

 

 

 

The word bricolage comes from the French verb, bricoler, which has many translations, the most common being "to tinker." Truest to its French heritage would be the definition of the constant and ever lasting tinkering on one's house, and more specifically, fixing something without going to the store to buy exactly what is needed. It is the creative use of what is at hand and implies using unconventional materials to fix problems. Sometimes we have to improvise, and often, the result is more endearing than first planned.

Bricolage Press was founded on these ideas.
