LETTERPRESS SHANTY
Home of The Shantyquarian

The Letterpress Shanty is home to Northern Spark’s communally authored letterpress broadside, The Shantyquarian. Combining social networking with old-fashioned hand-printing from moveable type, The Shantyquarian turns socially generated text (sourced from social networking platforms) into a hand-typeset document laid out and printed on a letterpress and distributed to visitors throughout the night.

Squared Away

The dry asembly is mostly complete. We're putting together the pieces of the Letterpress Shanty--hanging our walls, and installing the counters and shelving. It's starting to turn into a real structure--a tiny workshop that will live on the ice.

The shanty will break down into 8 sections for transport to the ice for final assembly. We just hope there's ice on the lake come early January.

Come visit our shanty: open weekends, January 14-Feb 5!
