Here are a few images of our most recent session of our two-week Hardcover Stab Bookbinding class. These books are approximately 8.5 by 6 inches, with hinged covers of library buckram book cloth and block printed end papers.
Some private instruction clients came in tonight to print some personalized note cards for holiday gifts. Using our decorative capitals, pictured below, and luscious Cranes Lettra letterpress paper, they printed sets of 20 cards for each of about six family members in two hours! They looked so good I think I’m going to borrow their idea and make some similar notecards for a special person in my own family.
Available now in the studio shop, and soon to be available in our Etsy shop.
11×17 letterpress and block printed broadsides on 65-lb French Paper in your choice of metallic blue and baby blue on white, or metallic blue and white on green.

You can pick up one of these limited edition screenprinted posters, designed by Joshua Babcock and printed at Levigator Press, for fifteen bucks tonight at the Arts Council Windsor and Region‘s annual members’ show reception. All proceeds go towards funding ACWR’s great programming and projects!
Posters are available in navy blue and in very limited numbers in lighter blue or minty green.
We’re pleased to have our little shop included in the Windsor Independent Last Minute Local Shopping Guide (although we’re a tad alarmed that December 8 is considered “last minute”: we don’t start buying gifts until at least the 20th!). There are a lot of other unique small local businesses in here too, all worthy of your time. Check it out!
Today we had a private instruction client in the studio making one-of-a-kind letterpress posters for holiday gifts. Here’s one of her lockups on the pressbed. What a great gift idea!
We’ve got these gorgeous colouring bookmarks by illustrator Mary MacVoy in the shop ready for your gift-giving and holiday colouring needs. They come in sets of eight different intricately patterned designs to keep your hands busy.
Here are just a few images from last night’s class. The students were five members of one family who signed up together, which made for a super fun night! I’ll show you a few more images of their finished fabrics once the inks are dry; they made some really lovely pieces!
We had a grade 8 student in this week working on some prints to include in her application portfolio for the WCCA programme at Walkerville Collegiate. She learned how to make screenprint separations, how to cut a lino block, and how to print both, and created a lovely set of three-colour prints with two layers of screenprint and one layer of block print.
