Get to Know the Artist: Mitzi Lindgren

Tell me about your shop. What will I find there?

My studio is in Enumclaw, WA. There, you will find a variety of book structures and & binding styles, along with letterpress printed pieces. You will also find custom boxes and enclosures designed for my books and prints. I love exploring and experimenting with new materials and surface design techniques used in my work.

How long have you been in business?

I have been bookbinding since 1995. I printed my first letterpress piece in 1997 while attending Western Washington University and have been hooked on paper, book arts and printing ever since. I am currently restoring a C&P Pilot Press used for letterpress printing. As a Ranger U Certified Instructor, I enjoy sharing and teaching these techniques with others.

Where do you sell your creations?

Aside from Belle Faire, my work can be purchased by contacting me via e-mail at: www.certifiedre@yahoo.com

Do you have a blog or web-site?

I do not currently have a website. However, photos of my work can be seen at:
