Today, marks the 14th year since S&C’s founding in Eastern Market Detroit [05.05.2012]; tomorrow begins year fifteen!

So many of you to thank. I am deeply moved by your encouragement and generous support, beginning on the very first day the door was propped open on Riopelle Street!

LAST SPOT available for our Letterpress Workshop offered during the NOW26 conference. 31 May from 11a-5p. €140

In this 6-hour workshop, participants will be introduced to a special collection of primarily French fonts designed by Roger Excoffon and released by Fonderie Olive, as well as other classics from Deberny & Peignot. Each sets a phrase or two in job sticks & galleys and prints one-color from a collective forme. The layouts may include pi fonts, vintage clichés and decorative rule. Each person will distribute their type and spacing material back into the cases, when the print runs are finished. At the end, we will trim, sign and number the [variable] editions, while assessing our font choices and compositional strategies.

All materials provided!

Activity in myriad realms: production / designation /publication / presentation / engagement / taking us to unprecedented states of awe, S&C was a place where Alison Knowles said, ‘she came to work.’

So much more to be said about , but begin here

I assembled this a couple years ago, for In-hand, at the invitation of journalist and co-founder, Meghan McEwan. Here’s to freedom of the press and the latitude to read what one cares to, uncensored. Grateful that Salt & Cedar is my anchor in this enchanting city. —> Happy 14 July!
