prep is in full swing and it is shaping up to be all sorts of fun. Don't miss all of the this Friday and Saturday!!

About this pretty feather... YOU get to run it through a Vandercook press and then color/paint/leave alone. All at the ! NEXT WEEKEND!!

We found inspiration in these old school trays for the Spring Art Scene!!! Old school, literally. 😂 SAVE THE DATE: April 15th & 16th! More details to come!!

Friends! We have the opportunity to be a stop on the Spring Art Scene again this April. Our heart is not only to be a trade letterpress printer, but to be a local place that fosters creativity. One idea we had was to host hands-on art projects during the Art Scene. There would be age appropriate activities for the whole family. Plus, the Boone County Historical Museum will be hosting local, area artists a block away. So come see art and come make art. Is this something you and your families would be interested in? We would love to hear your thoughts!
