Impressed by Design: Letterpress in the Heartland featured work from 6 regional letterpress printers and designers, including 2 selections from our very own Kirsten O’Loughlin who has an ever-growing collection of presses accumulating in her studio.

On Thursday night, May 7th 2009, the AIGA St. Louis Chapter celebrated its 20th anniversary by throwing a fabulous event. As part of the event, 20 designers we’re invited to participate and create 20 pieces of work specifically for the show, which was then displayed and given to attendees. Three TOKY designers (Kirsten O’Loughlin, Katy Fischer and Jay David) donated work. Pictures from the event follow below. Congratulations to the AIGA on 20 years in St. Louis!

Get your ink on! We designed an invitation for a birthday bash recently and printed it on a Vandercook to get that oh so wonderful letterpress feeling. Printed on a local paper made from recycled clothing – www.archpaper.net.
