happy studio tour day!
so this past saturday, the PCC was kind enough to host the studio's 2nd annual letterpress studio tour and demo. we had over twice the amount of people as last year and they were all letterpress newbies to boot.
my friend lisa, from ella studio helped me out for the day and i couldn't have done it without her. splitting into 2 groups, everyone was able to print a few valentine's day cards on the vandercook, watch the windmill in action as it cut the envelope liners, and witness the greatness that is the challenge automatic paper cutter.
photographer stephanie casey was kind enough to take photos of the event and post them on her beautiful blog. the studio never looked so neat and tidy and i can't wait to work with her sooner than later.
thanks again to those who attended. you made my day.
