A General Welcome & Upcoming Events
If you’re receiving this, it is because you’re on a list of people who were in contact with the Monks & Friars in years past, or have asked recently to be included in future gatherings and news. Welcome to our newsletter. Last year we had many changes. We gained and lost printers. We cleaned and organized shops. We helped move collections and, of course, we printed. Here’s to another year of printed matter.
It’s our sincere hope to be able to reach out to more people in the printing community around Southern Michigan and the general Midwest. We have been able to begin to organize our thoughts into a website that hosts our meeting dates & times, as well as links to the resources that we know to aid letterpress printers. This newsletter is another extension of this effort, which we hope will make us able to better keep you up to date with what we are doing. In the future, we will send out an email detailing our previous meeting, future meeting dates, and updates from the M&F members.
We also hope to hear from more people about what we as an organization can do to better serve the general printing community, so feel free to reach out. We’d be glad to hear from you, we’re always glad to help, and would like to see you at a meeting.
Our next meeting is February 11th, 12:30PM at Jim Horton’s in Ann Arbor, MI. Throughout the day, before and after the meeting, there will also be demonstrations of wood engraving by Jim, and some type casting by hand from Fritz Swanson and Jody Harnish of Printing Stewards. Reach out for more details if interested.
