Letterpress Printing & Design from Ann Arbor, Michigan
This is a really nice video by Mike Ambs that sums up the event of day at the Shadow Art Fair. Unfortunately, I didn't make it into the video, but as Mike told me, everytime he came over to get a shot, I was helping someone make a print on the letterpress or talking with someone at the table, which I guess I can't complain about too much ; )
1 day. 40 artists. 9,000 gallons of beer. from mike ambs �?? on Vimeo.
This past weekend Elevated Press participated in the Shadow Art Fair, at the Corner Brewery in Ypsilanti Michigan. I brought my Kelsey tabletop press along to give attendees the chance to see, and for some, try out, a letterpress in action. Those that did took home the print that they made.
The place was packed, and we got a good reaction from visitors to our table. Lasting from noon to midnight, I will say it was a bit of a challenge to keep our energy up, but the beer helped get us through! Overall it was a successful day... pretty good for being our first big art fair!
