Studio Party!!!!! Friday!!! Yo!

Please join us for a Studio Party to celebrate our new space! Come see where all the letterpress hijinks for Paper Parasol Press and Shimmer Studio will be happening!

3729 N. Ravenswood Avenue, Studio 135A in Chicago.
Friday, October 2nd, 2009 from 7pm to 10pm.

Our special thanks to Delicate Creature for the event design.

And don't forget the Ravenswood Artwalk is this weekend too! Lots of studios open all along Ravenswood (including ours). Come on out! October 3rd and 4th from 11am – 6pm.

Welcome home!

My Heidelberg Windmill arrived on the scene this AM and that is it outside the Ravenswood building. It seemed to stop spritzing just long enough to move this in without having to worry about the rain. Yay! Below are some photos of how the studio is coming along. I still have some more things to get over there and some major organizing to do. The C+P is Cindy's press — don't they look great together. Her press is beautiful. I can't wait for both of them to be up and running.

Ravenswood — here we come

Pics of the new space on Ravenswood. It's empty but we will be working to start filling it up this weekend and next week. Cindy's press is moving in Sunday and my press is moving in Monday. My splat flat studio is almost packed up and ready to go. I'm so close but I've run out of boxes and I have to take the bookcases and one more table apart so we can carry them down two flights of stairs. My back is aching just thinking about tomorrow.

a little belated studio tour

The above pics are of my studio at The Splat Flats. I totally enjoyed my time there and I will miss my cute little studio. But it is time to pack it up and move to Ravenswood and get the letterpress going and the paper flying.


The new digs are at 3729 N. Ravenswood Ave., Suite 135A. I will try to do a better job of posting the move and the new space.
