looking for letterpress in Montreal

Is anyone aware of an artist co-op or collective in Montreal that has access to a letterpress? There seems to be very little interest in letterpress in Quebec in general. I moved here from Alberta in September 2006, and if anyone could disprove this impression, I would greatly appreciate it.

Hello Correy Baldwin, I am also from Montreal and am looking for a letterpress community. Have you had any luck yet? I am looking for beginner lessons myself and am interested in further investigating polymar plates. Any advice? Grazie

Hi there—

I’m in Montpelier, Vt, if you feel like taking a drive. Or if you hear of anything up that way, I’d like to hear about it.

Thanks!
Kelly

Hello Alain,
Can you send me some info on your atelier. I’m very interested in letterpress. How can i reach you? Grazie.

Good to hear from everyone. I hope your Easters were wonderful.

Grazie — I’m glad I’m not the only one on the search. I’ll be in touch.

Alain — I would love to hear more about what you have planned for September. What kind of press do you have?

And Kelly — I just may come for a drive sometime this spring! You are a little out of the way, but I would like to see Vermont. What do you have set up?

Correy—

I have a small shop—a C&P Pilot and a Nolan proofing press. But I’m a business, so there’s always something happening! Shoot me an email if you make it down this way.

MAYBE YOU GUYS CAN ALL GET TOGETHER AND BRING ME OUT FOR AWHILE

correy,

i’ve been looking for letterpress resources in montreal for a few years now, and there’s not much. there’s a press & type at concordia university, but of course you have to be a student there. and atelier circulaire has a vandercook, but no type, or very little. if you had polymer plates you wanted to print, though, you could.

um. i guess that’s not much help. be sure to post if you find anything!
