Private Events
We enjoy sharing our love and knowledge of letterpress printing! We also enjoy hosting individuals and small groups in our studio. Read on to learn about scheduling a tour, a small group workshop, or reserving time with us for guided instruction.
Small Groups & Team Building Workshops
Want to plan creative time with a group of friends, or reinvigorate your coworkers with a team building experience? We can adapt any of our workshop curriculums into private sessions for small groups and teams. We’ve hosted families, work teams and groups of Scouts. Out studio is not huge, however, so we’ll need to agree on what kind of project will make the most sense for the number of people and the timeframe. We’ll also work with you to determine the pricing.
Guided Instruction or Equipment Instruction
This category covers a few different kinds of requests we receive.
You’ve got some experience with letterpress and relief printing under your belt. You have a personal project you’d like to make, but you need help making your project come to life. Book studio time with us and Christy will guide you through the process and equipment use as you turn your idea into a creative masterpiece!
You’re interested in diving deeper into letterpress. Perhaps you’d like to buy your own equipment, but you’re not sure what’s right for you. We are happy to share letterpress knowledge, equipment moving stories, demonstrate how presses work, and allow you to get hands on. We own the following presses:
Vandercook SP-15, flat bed, cylinder proofing press.
Chandler & Price 11 x 7 Old Style (floor model with foot treadle)
Chandler & Price Pilot (tabletop)
Sigwalt No. 11. (small tabletop)
Hourly Rate = $35/hour
Materials Fee = $25(If applicable. May increase depending on project scope.)
Private Tours
We’re always interested in connecting with other letterpress enthusiasts. Our home-based studio is not typically open to the public, but If you or your small group would like to visit please contact us to schedule a day and time. We’d be happy to show you around and give some simple demonstrations.
Our studio is located on a walk-out basement level. If navigating stairs is an issue we have a direct studio entrance from the street. You’ll traverse across a small grassy area and up one step into the studio.
