A three color letterpress wedding invitation!  

At A.J. Smith Elementary School . . .

I brought a printing press over to A.J. Smith Elementary School to show the students how printing was done historically. We printed an image of a "Wide-Awake" portable steam engine that was built in Union Springs in the 1800s. Historic image from Bill Hecht ( SPENCER MANUFACTURING ).

Students get to use an old printing press to make bookmarks! The picture is of a steam engine that was made here in Union Springs on Factory St. pic.twitter.com/UqdKVhMabr

Recent Commission . . .

I just completed rebinding another copy of "The History of Cayuga County" printed in 1879! This is a fascinating book full of information and drawings of the area, but finding a good intact copy is almost impossible. This one has a lot more life left in it now with a new reinforced vellum spine, dark gray cloth cover and even a ribbon bookmark.

At the library . . .

A day in the studio.

Mark Your Calendar!

I will be giving a free lecture at 6pm on April 10th at the Seymour Library in Auburn, New York. I will be bringing an antique press along ! I hope to see you there.
