Join AIGA Pittsburgh and Lisa Krowinski, owner of Sapling Press, for a
beginner/intro to letterpress workshop in her studio and storefront in
Lawrenceville! Enjoy light refreshments while you learn about Lisa, her
shop and the history of letterpress. After that, prepare to get your
hands dirty as you hand-set lead and wood type, before walking away with
a piece of your own. This is a work space full of inks, grease, and old
machinery. Please dress accordingly.
Lisa Krowinski opened Sapling
Press in 2003 while living and working as a graphic designer in
Baltimore. In 2005 she moved her shop to Pittsburgh and turned her
business into her full time gig. While the majority of her business
focuses on her wholesale greeting card lines, the studio also turns out a
good amount of custom and commercial work. The studio houses lots of
gorgeous papers, four presses, and several pieces of finishing
equipment.
