What fun!  Tara and I (and Baby Lola!) are featured in this great article about the new arts movement in Pennsylvania.  This is a great interview with Tara about the motivations of this new craft economy, the challenges, and the successes.  One of our shop contributers, Paisley Dog Press,  is also interviewed about the revival of artisanal letterpress.   We had an early morning “photo shoot” last Monday (trust me, I thought it was kinda crazy–I’m pretty shy when it comes to this stuff!), and all of the photos from the article take place in the shop!  That makes us practically famous…at least, in the Keystone State!  Here’s a link to the article, so feel free to pass it around FB and twitter!:
