I’ve surely missed some letterpress studios. If I’ve not included you or if you know of a studio that’s missing, please let me know and I’ll update the list.

Make Workshop is offering 2 classes, May 21 and June 02, on creating monogrammed notecards.

Check the Make site for details and other class offerings.

Shelley Barandes of Albertine Press has teamed up with the folks at Taza Chocolate and La Tene Chocolatier for a truly delicious open studio & Valentine’s Day celebration!

Please see details below and the attached letterpressed flyer for the event. It’s going to be a great chance for people to get a behind-the-scenes look at how cards are printed and chocolate is made from “beans to bars.” It’s also the first time Albertine Press has opened its doors to visitors since moving in to the new shop in December. There will be hot chocolate, tasting truffles, and a limited edition valentine that you can print yourself! And of course, a chance to pick up paper & chocolate for your valentine.

Who: Albertine Press, Taza Chocolate, La Tene Chocolatier
What: Paper & Chocolate – open studio Valentine’s Day celebration
Where: 561 Windsor Street, Floor B2, Somerville, MA (just north of Inman Sq. – free parking)
When: Sunday, February 11, 2007, from 1 to 4 pm
Why: who doesn’t love paper & chocolate!

More than 40 artists will be selling handmade books, journal, cards, prints, paper and gifts.

Check it out:http://www.mnbookarts.org/theshop/theshopfestival2006.html

I will be one of these artists and would love to see a huge turn out for this event. If you live in the Twin Cities or will be there that weekend come, say hi and see what made-with-love-by-hand-gifts MN letterpress printers and book artists have to offer!
