LA Printers Fair 2022 (Oct 22nd and 23rd)

A highlight of many activities throughout the year at the wonderful Intl Printing Museum.. this two-day fair attracts vendors from all over the west coast. Lots to look at, purchase, and hands-on activities at the family friendly museum. Print your own cards and souvenirs! The LA Printers Fair program has info about other long-time classes/projects at the museum.

This is a post-in-progress... 

Hands-on museum activites included in admission to the Printer's Fair..

Vendors in several areas throughout the museum grounds...

One of my favorite exhibitors at this event is the Typin' Pint. Author and vintage typerwriter enthusiast Bryan Mahoney makes improvised poetry based on your prompts. Such a great idea for parties and gallery events! https://www.thetypinpint.com/
