Congratulations to GPP Founder Rachel Lackey for being selected as a Women Honoring Women 2026 Honoree by the WEDC Foundation--the first WEDCF Scholar Alumna to receive this honor, and on the 25th anniversary of the event, no less.
What a great way to celebrate 15 years of Green Pea Press!🥳
We are delighted to celebrate our inspiring honoree, Rachel Lackey! As the founder of Green Pea Press printing studio and a proud WEDC Foundation Scholar Alumna, Rachel's journey is a testament to perseverance. She became a WEDC Foundation Scholar in her final year of college, a pivotal moment that provided the support she needed to triumphantly earn her degree during one of the most challenging times in her life.
In 2011, Rachel launched Green Pea Press at Lowe Mill ARTS & Entertainment, marking the beginning of Alabama's first community printmaking studio. Here, she has created an empowering space for fellow artists to access professional equipment, hone their craft, exhibit and sell their work, gain valuable teaching experience, and connect with a vibrant creative community. In recognition of her remarkable contributions, she was named Creative Entrepreneur of the Year in 2019 by The Catalyst Center for Business and Entrepreneurship.
