Hello friends - just want to let you know I have been updating this page less and less as I find this platform to be quite unhelpful with any actual promoting! Too see up-to-date and current work please follow me on Instagram. :)

A quick note to all folks attempting to navigate wedding (or non-wedding or postponed wedding or elopement) plans throughout this pandemic : I have no printing minimums! If you’re going to get hitched this year in front of your nearest & dearest or your bubble of 10, we can still make special stationery happen. Or maybe just a “save the *new* date” or a “whoops dang here’s the new plan” announcement in the meantime? You dream it, we print it!

PS this is a big sneaky peeky of something I’ve been working on behind the scenes: semi-custom invite templates! More on that one day but for now let’s all ogle at this colour of green which I cannot get enough of lately. 🍐

Super excited to take part in the Night Market and Celebration at The Cotton Factory 5 year bash this weekend! Not only will a version of this very cool short film by of me printing be screening on loop (it’s real film that he shot and developed!), my studio will also be open where I’ll be doing a letterpress demo in collaboration with the NuSteel bunch and Laine from Smokestack down the hall - print party! Come explore the building ( there’ll be art, food, installations, music, performance +++ !!) and make a print!!

In case you missed it on the 'gram, the 2020 calendars are d o n e !
Features 12 illustrations printed in 7 colours on 100lb card stock with rounded corners and a hole for hanging. I'll have a pile of these with me next week at the Last Chance Holiday Market - please come!
Also available for purchase in the online store (www.allsortspress.com/shop - I made less this year so don’t snooze on it). Local pick-up in Hamilton also welcomed, as always!
Also want to thank you all for supporting this project of mine every year - this is my 7th (!) calendar I’ve made. It is both the biggest personal project of the year and one of the more creatively satisfying that I get to print, but is also quite exhausting (physically + mentally + financially) - I might take a year off from making them or maybe switch things up for 2021 but definitely wouldn’t have made it this far without you all 💛
