Kyle Durrie, of Power and Light Press, will be bringing her mobile type-truck to The Firecracker Press on Feb 28th from 6pm-9pm. She’ll be cruising in from Alabama so please come on down, make some posters, and show her a warm StL welcome.

Kyle’s been traveling the count...ry spreading the “good word” about printing and letterpress. We’re tickled to be considered a stop on her trip! Make a collaborative poster the night of her visit… you print one color on our monster signpress and then run outside to the TypeTruck to print the second color in Kyle’s mobile printing studio.

We’ll have tons of prints for sale (as little as $2) and we’ll have plenty of snacks and drinks on-hand.

What’s better than a mobile printing studio?.. I knew you couldn’t think of anything.

Mad-Libs style Valentines at Firecracker

From the Firecracker Press:

On Saturday, Feb. 11th from 11am – 5pm we’ll be making custom Valentine cards… mad-libs style. That’s right you fill in the blanks with nouns, verbs, nicknames, etc. and we will print ‘em up in 30 minutes or less. This year the cards are HUGE so they make a big impression as a card or a poster. And we’ll customize a standard envelope for you at no extra charge. Quantities are very limited and due to the popularity of the event we suggest you come early.
