About this Event

Join us at the Open to Being letterpress studio + shop as we celebrate one year in our Arlington location with a joyful, creative day of connecting through words, stationery, and art.

Step up to one of our antique printing presses to make a mini print on a premium card. Add your own designs or words—decorate, write a note, or create something to give for Mother’s Day or another occasion. Mini prints are made on the spot and priced per print, so you can make as many as you’d like.

Drop in to see what’s new, meet our presses Minerva and Vera, and shop Open to Being’s handcrafted greeting cards for all occasions, along with journals, art prints, and a curated selection of thoughtfully made gifts.
