COLPA is a publishing company based in San Francisco, CA, specializing in hand-made art books, limited edition prints, and the curation of print-related fine art exhibitions. Run by artists/founders Luca Antonucci and Carissa Potter--with great help from in-house designer Hailey Loman--COLPA's publications challenge the relationship between printmaking and concept, creating objects in reciprocal dialog with the way in which they are produced.

COLPA operates EDICOLA, an art-centric newsstand on Market and 6th streets in San Francisco; publishes GAZZETTA, a handsome monthly art rag; and offers custom print services in letterpress, Risograph, and screen printing.
