Printing Arts Fair

Come join us at the Museum of Printing’s Printing Arts Fair, September 21, 2019 from 10 am to 4 pm. We’re located at 15 Thornton Avenue in Haverhill, MA.

You are invited to leave us a note, a joke, or a haiku on one of our working typewriters. Enter our raffle to win a complete Kelsey 5×8 printing kit (the restored press plus a kit with all you need to start printing). Get inky and print keepsakes in our Letterpress Studio and the Alphabet Factory. Visit our galleries and exhibits. See stone lithography printing demonstrations by Carolyn Muskat of Muskat Studios.

Our Linotype will be running live from 10 am to 1 pm thanks to Michael Babcock of Interrobang Letterpress. Museum of Printing volunteers will show visitors how our Adams iron hand press works. The Boston Printmakers will showcase their Traveling Flat File of member prints. There will also be vendors offering books, ephemera, vintage letterpress supplies & tools, new letterpress type, artwork, paper goods, stationery, and more. And, as always, this is a free event thanks in part to support from the Mass Cultural Council!
