Art On The Porch is tomorrow, Sunday August 9 from 10am to 3pm. And you’ll find me and some sweet stacks of stationery right there, on the porch, at the Fifth Maine Museum on Peaks Island. Take the ferry! It’s an easy, beautiful walk to 45 Seashore Ave, where you’ll find 30+ artist and craftspeople selling their wares. There will be a stunning view, the most heavenly breeze, and they will be firing up the grill for lunch! 🌭 🌭 🌭 It will be great to see you Fifth Maine Museum!

I had a blast this weekend teaching a 2-day Intro to Linoleum block Printing at Running With Scissors. We designed, transferred, carved, and printed our blocks on the RWS Reprex press. We also had a go at mixing colors for each block — things got a little inky! And what a fun, creative, and industrious group to work with! Thank you all for your enthusiasm, your concentration and your lovely work. And many thanks to for the support and for making this and other workshops possible!

I had the distinct pleasure to spend the past weekend co-teaching the workshop Printing Historical Endpapers with .swing.and.a.mitch at North Bennet Street School. The students were an absolute joy to work with and we spent three glorious days designing, carving and printing our versions of block printed antiquarian endpapers and wrappers. And we really could have kept going for another three days! Many thanks to and and NBSS Community Education for their support, and making it all possible. It was way too much fun, and we’ll have to do it again!

25 years ago today I moved in here and started Strong Arm Bindery. That was October 15, 1999, and it was on Exchange Street with the windows facing out onto Milk. It’s my , and maybe a significant one. I was only there for 4 years, and it felt more like a private detective’s office than a bindery, but Portland was still weird and smelly and wonderful. And it was a great start.
