Play time!

My cousin Paula and my 2 nieces Izzy and Emma spent the day at the shop this week to play with the presses. So fun...I gave the girls a lesson in printing, color and composition, and the value of making things with your own hands. They came away with quite a stack of printed goods to show off to their dad! They were busy little bees :)

Here's Emma cranking on the Vandercook.

and Isabela on the feed...

They picked their own letters and plates from our collection at the shop.

And voila! Look at all their loot. Impressive, right?

Little visitors

I was paid a visit today by 3 adorable little people who were on a field trip with their teacher. They were nextdoor at St. Hieronymous Press when I met them. Then I mentioned that I, too have cool machines PLUS a cute pup they can play with :) That lured them in and having them for a bit was the perfect distraction...

I love this picture of Lukan eyeing my press, so precious!

Do they make this in my size?
