Printing Arts Fair at The Museum of Printing, North Andover, MA


Sun. June 15 from 10 - 4

This museum is really amazing and filled to the brim with printing presses and ephemera. On Father's Day (June 15), they'll have a lot of the presses up and running, as well as over a dozen vendors selling lovely items: handmade books, printing equipment, paper, cards, and more. It's co-sponsored by the Letterpress Guild of New England and the Museum, and it is free. Vendors include: Albertine Press, B Designs, Carta, Inc., Rainy Planet Press, Sea Dog Press, Press Bound, Paper Breakfast, and others. There will be demonstrations of bookbinding, paper-making, paper-marbling, lithography, typesetting, and letterpress printing as well as hands-on activities. If you viewed this blog in the last two days, I had last year's flyer up by accident. The correct date is Sunday, June 15... Come by if you can!
