In our November/December Craft of Maine story, Suzette McAvoy covers the resurgence of the centuries-old craft of letterpress in Maine. Today, some of the most evocative and creative invitations, stationery, cards, exquisite limited-edition books, and other ephemera are being produced by letterpress printers. Here, we present to you a sampling of their work.

Creating exhibits for the windows of the world
The creative chaos of Mark White’s waterfront workshop on Commercial Street in Portland couldn’t contrast more with the string of polished storefronts that line Fifth Avenue in Manhattan.
But despite their differences in atmosphere and even echelon, the two have a before-and-after relationship that makes them inextricably linked; the “before” happens in Portland by the working hands of White’s team, and the “after” is the eye candy that fills retail windows and stores all over the world.

Let It Glow - These candles are an instant hit as a gift. Made from soy wax, they are clean burning, soot-free, nontoxic, and biodegradable. Unlike petroleum, soy is a renewable resource. The vessels themselves make a statement—the Shanghai features a beautiful oriental cup; the Moroccan has a jewel-like effect with a gold leaf on colored glass; and the Mint Julep is in its very own silver cup. Their scent is intoxicating, and they last twice as long as paraffin candles. Market Street’s boxes are truly one-of-a-kind as well; each is hand-stamped with a wax seal and tied with a grosgrain ribbon. They are also one of the few suppliers that choose to use soy ink. marketstreetcandles.com
