Michigan Letterpress Guild

will take place on May 11

at 1:00 p.m.

at the home and printshop of former member

John Moran

Muskegon, MI

John passed away this past Easter before we could set a date for a meeting where he planned to sell much of his extensive printshop to MLG members. His family has decided to go ahead with the meeting and the sale.

John had already arranged for the sale of his presses and the Ludlow and matrices, but there's still a large collection of type, a really nice paper cutter and all the other accoutrements found in a well used printshop.

Those of you who had the opportunity to visit John's shop saw first hand the lengths he went to see that everything was in tip-top shape. If you haven't, take our word for it: Everything is in A-1 condition. You don't want to miss this meeting!

ABOUT US

We are Michigan printing enthusiasts who are interested in the art and craft of letterpress printing. With Pilots and Heidelbergs, Linotypes and Ludlows, metal and wood type (with some interesting alternatives although, as of yet, no one has 'fessed up to polymer plates), we enjoy putting ink to paper and sharing our knowledge and discoveries. Membership is open to all and there are no fees. We meet approximately quarterly at members' homes.
