We are lucky enough to have the MOVEABLE TYPE project make a stop at the Little Apple by the sea on Friday. Come try your hand at printing and be a part of the unlikely road trip being undertaken by Kyle Durrie of Power and Light Press.

in her own words:

“I’ve converted a 1982 Chevy step van into a fully functional letterpress print shop. I’ve outfitted the back of the truck with built-in cabinets and workspace, a sign press from the mid 20th century, and an 1873 Golding Official No. 3 tabletop platen press. I’ll spend the next nine or so months driving all over North America, teaching workshops, doing demos, and generally spreading the good word about printing the old fashioned way.”

People’s Print just acquired a VANDERCOOK no. 2 GALLEY PROOF PRESS. Thanks to Brien and Hank for their moving brains & brawn, Manzanita Lumber for loaning us their forklift, Keegan Meegan & Co for selling it to us, and Martha Chiplis for alerting us to the ad on Briar Press in the first place. this press is going to make our fledgeling shop more accessible, versatile, and creative. more on that soon..
