We hosted our 2018 Open Studio event right here in the heart of Central New York on Saturday! This time around, we had the chance to honor our veterans. Guests who came signed a card that would be delivered to the Syracuse Veterans Administration Hospital. We also offered other letterpress take-aways to spread patriotic pride. As usual, we hosted a series of other interactive activities for our guests to enjoy. From wreath-making to printing demonstrations, we loved sharing a glimpse into our letterpress world. With the happiest time of year right around the corner, our holiday sale was a great way for guests to kick off the season. Thanks to all who stopped by and for those who couldn’t make it, we hope to see you next year!

It’s that time of year again! Smock invites you to create special thank-you cards for veterans during its upcoming 2018 Open Studio event on Saturday, November 10 from 10:00 A.M. to 4:00 P.M at the Delavan Center located at 509 W. Fayette St., Syracuse, New York. In addition to crafting letters, veterans in attendance will receive a complimentary letterpress coaster from all of us here at Smock.

At this special event, guests will have the opportunity to write personalized thank-you cards for veterans, see letterpress in action, and even get a personalized tour of our shop.  As always, we’ll have craft projects and a coloring station for guests of all ages to enjoy. With the holidays right around the corner, letterpress holiday cards and gift wrap will also be available for purchase.
