Deconstructed Artichoke Press (aka Nikki Thompson) makes the artist’s books, zines, broadsides, and more. She’s a bookbinder, printmaker, and poet with work that featuring social justice, relationships, disability, & humor.

My books are generally made of accordions, my zines from a single sheet of paper. And I teach you how to make them! Check out my classes page to see when and where I’m teaching. Or check out my Krafty Kits for an at-home experience.

I appear at various book and craft fairs, including Codex, San Francisco Center for the Book’s Roadworks, San Francisco Bay Area Printer’s Fair and Wayzgoose, San Francisco and Sacramento’s Zine Fairs, and more. My books appear in collections all over the country from libraries at California College of the Arts, Kelmscott Books, New York Public Library, Powell's Books, Scripps College, University of California Berkeley, University of Washington, among others.
