A cry for help!
For those of you who know me in real life, you know I am a graphic designer. For those who don't...now you do! :) For many years (20 to be exact. wow.), I've been mostly designing for the corporate world, which tends to be quite "by the book" and not very exciting or overly creative. Not that I don't enjoy it, I do, but I stumbled across a fantastic opportunity to finally bring to life some of the wild ideas I've had stuck in my head or sketchbook for far too long. However, unfortunately, I've run across a stumbling block of sorts...
Now, we all know that living in a small town has plenty of benefits, but there are also a few drawbacks as well. Especially when trying to locate the services of certain creative individuals and businesses. We simply do not have a lot of resources at our fingertips like those who live in bigger cities. So, I'm throwing this out into the blogging world in hopes that someone picks it up in a Google search, or stumbles across this post and exclaims "I CAN HELP!" and sends me an email.
I'm currently designing a line of social stationary. You know...note cards, letterhead, calling cards, etc... that I would like to have letterpressed either locally or at least by someone here in Northern Arizona. At some point, I am hoping to be able to convince this person to teach me a few tricks of the trade and be able to purchase a press of my very own in the future, but for now I will just need their expertise and willingness to print my stuff. I've spent hours upon hours searching the web for a letterpress in Northern Arizona, but have basically come up empty-handed. Does anyone out there in bloggyland know of anyone nearby who might be able to come to my rescue? I promise you will be handsomely rewarded with a lifetime supply of all the bespoke paperie you could ever want or need.

I suppose we should have just bought that one you found a while ago? Drat! I will keep my ears open for someone that can Letter Press...Silly AZ!
While talking to Megan last night, I casually mentioned that you were looking for a LetterPress or someone that had one.
Guess what?
They have one at the printmaking lab at the college! It's been donated and it's sitting there all pretty, new and waiting for someone to use it...since, I don't think anyone knows how. She suggested signing up for the class next semester? It might be something we could do together as they offer classes in the evening...
Megan also happens to be storing a Gocco press for a friend as well...she said we could get together and figure out how to use that as well one afternoon at her house.
