Print A Little Valentine with Me!

I'm happy to say that the Printing Station is back and will be posted at the lovely SOUVENIR studios this Saturday February 13th, just in time for Valentine's Day. If you're keen on a little DIY, come into the shop between 12:30pm-3:30pm to print a little love note with pre-designed plates on the mini Showcard flatbed press. Each print is $5 and you have a choice between using one or two colours.

Swing by SOUVENIR and get your print on. There will also be fresh bouquets, baked goods, and other swell things in the shop that you can pick up for your loved ones or to keep for yourself). It'll be a good time!

chalkboard signage by Christopher Rouleau

Not only did he help me man the Postcard Printing Station for the City of Craft, my good friend Christopher Rouleau, made the chalkboard signage for the event! He sketched it out the night before and hand-lettered it right there on the spot as the show got underway. He's a star. I can't bring myself to erase it even though the event is over. The chalkboard is now sitting in the studio and I just might even hang it up as is.

Thanks again, Christopher!

The City of Craft holiday event just gets better and better each year. Held in three separate buildings with over 60 vendors (including youth vendors!), I think it's safe to say that the organizers outdid themselves this year. It was wonderful to see Toronto support its own and handmade whole-heartedly by coming out to the show, talking to makers, participating in workshops and purchasing goods.

As for the Snap + Tumble Postcard Printing Station, it was a hit! Lots of folks took to the press quite eagerly. I even had a few kids step right up to see what it was all about and give it a go. 

Loads of fun and good times. I'm hoping that I'll be able to get to do this again next year!

starburst are coming to town: City of Craft

I just found out last week that I'll be participating in the City of Craft happening this weekend. It's been a crazy week of late night printing and getting things together for my table. I'm happy to say that I'll be bringing the Postcard Printing Station to the event! It debuted at the first Junction Flea and was a hit. I will be at the City of Craft on both Saturday and Sunday from 12-2pm. If you're in the hood, say hello or come and get your hands dirty and print a postcard or two. There'll also be a few new cards featuring the starbursts!
