As you can see from this photo, even though letterpress printing can be cruel, whimsical and painstaking, the results are well worth the effort and bring smiles to the faces of everyone who has survived the process. This past weekend, our education outreach coordinator finished teaching a two week “Broadsides for Poets” workshop at the Evanston Print & Paper Shop. Three industrious and talented participants picked great poetry for their broadsides and really made the most of the class.
Here’s our very appealing Renegade set up. The stroller that we set just outside the tent, complete with that delicious-looking half-eaten donut, really drew in the big crowds. We were sharing the booth space, as you can see, with the always awesome Starshaped Press.
Come and visit Slow Industries at the Renegade Craft Fair this coming weekend! We’re at booth 252 (we think..) and will be around from 11-7 on Saturday and Sunday. In addition to our fine wares, you can buy just about anything handmade at this gargantuan event. There might even be ponies, but no promises.
