Year our press was built
A former bike shop with a skylight and, it turns out, a very good concrete floor under the carpet.
A 1926 platen press came up from Eugene on a flatbed. It took five people and a pallet jack.
Two hundred boxes of cotton-stock notecards, printed in-house. Members get first refusal.
Coffee from Rose City Roasters, and the press running all day so you can watch.
2140 SE Clinton Street, Portland, OR 97202 — between 21st and 22nd, on the south side. The old bike shop with the green awning.
Yes, from October. Bench time will be $28/hour including polymer plates, and we will run a beginners evening twice a month.
Domestic US shipping from launch week. International once we have worked out how to pack a box of cards so it survives.
Two counter roles, 20–30 hours, starting late August. Email jobs@fernpost.co with a paragraph about yourself — no CV needed.
