Free notebook with order of $25+ thru February 28

We make a lot-a lot of notebooks in our small studio. And we have a mighty standard of high quality so…… that means we accumulate a bunch of “seconds”. Each notebook is made by hand and hands are the best, but things can get messy. So today through Feb 28,

While kids love these, they may need help from an adult to put them together. Just cut, fold and glue, instructions are listed on the card. Who else remembers riding in the “way back” in a “woodie” wagon?

A limited edition, when these are gone they are gone. Grab one while you can!

LIMITED EDITION! We have brought back an old favorite, the vintage 3D DIY station wagon card. And this time we’ve added a yuletide / xmas tree to go on top. These cards are great gifts that become a Christmas tree ornament or a novelty wagon to sit on your mantle.

@prisonculture.bsky.social I fixed your name typo, I’m sorry about that! I should have triple checked. Thanks for working on this project!

Rather than appointing an interim director to ensure continuity, the Board chose to micromanage staff, mistreat workers, and impose harmful leadership decisions. We call for the resignation of the entire Hamilton Wood Type Museum Board

In January, 2025, the Executive Board of Hamilton Wood Type Museum assumed direct control of day-to-day operations, an extraordinary overreach for a governing board.
