Pink ink

On Saturday I tagged along with Jessica Spring to help some unsuspecting Bainbridge Island residents get their hands dirty. As part of its current INK exhibition, Bainbridge Arts & Crafts hosted Jessica and her hundred-year-old Sigwalt clamshell press for a letterpress demo.

Before long, folk of all ages were printing up spring keepsakes,

playing with antique wood type,

and creating their own DIY t-shirts. Stella!

As for me? Well, I couldn’t resist that day-glo red ink, so I made my own little contribution:

Can you guess which season is Jessica’s favorite? Happy springtime, Bainbridge!
