On Thursday evening I visited the lovely Gilah Press, a letterpress design firm in Hampden. The lovely Nathalie Wilson gave me the heads-up (I'm shooting her wedding in April, hooray!), and I headed over for a little liquid refreshment.

Lo, and behold, I arrived somewhat late, but Whitney gave me a personal demonstration of one of the presses, to my extreme delight. I came away with this beautiful coaster:

The ladies at Gilah Press do absolutely fantastic work. I'd encourage anyone interested in unique wedding invitations to visit their portfolio and see how simple and elegant letterpress can be.

And not to mention that in December, Gilah is hosting BINGE: an open studio event and holiday sale! Handmade goods and beautiful art will be there for purchase (think unique gifts, everyone). Oh, and I'll be there too for another press demonstration and shmoozing.

Hope to see some new faces there!
