I am really excited to attend the grand opening party at Pot & Box tomorrow night, Friday, March 5th! Owner (and our friendly neighbor) Lisa Waud, has such a fresh and inspiring approach to floral design, and I should know, I grew up in the floral biz with my Mom being an award winning florist back in the day, and grandparents and an uncle who have owned a florist and greenhouse for decades, about 20 miles east of Ann Arbor.
But it doesn't stop there folks, Lisa is also a serious horticulturist, and designs flower landscapes and container gardens... which is basically my dream job, aside from letterpress design and printing of course!
I've also had a look inside the new studio, and it really is an amazing space, not only in the architecture, but also in the way that Lisa has designed her displays, and even organized her materials... so much great stuff to look at! You should stop by the opening if you get the chance...

Thanks to everyone who came out to the Elevated Press open house and Peter Baker photography exhibition! We had a great turn-out, lots of supportive friends and plenty of curious people who had never stopped in before.
Here are a few pics... Hopefully we'll get some more photos from others who attended that night. Send 'em to me if you've got 'em!

Crowd shot... busy, busy!
A few people still hanging out at the end of the night, and a view of some of Pete's photos in the space.
All the presses in a row!

In case it slipped your mind, here is your reminder that the Elevated Press open house is happening tomorrow night, Saturday, February 20th from 7pm - 11pm-ish.
We hope you can join us for an open house at Michigan's newest design and letterpress printing studio, Elevated Press. Founder Michelle Baker will be showing off work by the studio, and the 75 to 110 year old machines used to produce it.
Also on display, the photographs of Peter Baker, whose work has been exhibited around the country and the rest of the world, as well as appeared in numerous magazines including Metropolis, I.D., and How. He will be showing recent work focusing on the state of Michigan, as well as previous works.
Greeting cards, prints, and limited edition photographs will all be on sale.
Forest Juziuk will be providing the musical styling, and J. Trees Cellars will be providing their newest varieties of wine.
[This will be the first in a series of 3 local artist exhibitions at this space, with a larger 4th culminating group show in another space. The dates for the other three shows are planned for March 6th, March 20th, and April 3rd.]
