THANK YOU

I want to thank a few of the important printers patrons along my journey of reviving a lost art, letterpress hand set type and hand printing - These folks helped me find the most desirable, unique and rare type, cuts and equipment and answered countless questions. I am not closing my shop - I will continue to have my Pioneer House Press but this is a chance for me to pass along my knowledge and treasures to other printmakers.
