Spring 2014 Meeting

The Spring Meeting
of the
Michigan Letterpress Guild
will be held at
Dan Celani's Print Shop
in Capac, MI

Saturday, April 12
noon to 4 p.m.

This will be a joint meeting with the Monks and Friars of Metro Detroit, so if you are not familiar with this group, this is a great opportunity to find out what they're all about and meet new people with a shared enthusiasm for letterpress printing.

If you need even more incentive, there will be a cheese and meat deli platter along with coffee and tea to indulge in.

For additional information or directions, please send a message with the "Need more information?" widget on the left side of the page.

Please come join us!

2013 Brayer and Bodkin

At long last, here are the scans of the 2013 Brayer and Bodkin. As with all scans, they don't really do justice to the fine letterpress printing of our members but it is still an opportunity to enjoy their creativity. (Click on the image to see it larger or to embiggen it, for The Simpsons fans.) Enjoy!
