Make plans to attend the Ashantilly Press Valentine Open Studio:
WHERE: Ashantilly Press
WHEN: Saturday, February 7
TIME: Anytime between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m.
FREE TO THE PUBLIC!
This delightful, hands-on event is open to everyone—and best of all, it’s free to the public.
Guests are invited to print their very own Valentine card using one of Ashantilly’s beautiful antique letterpresses. There’s something magical about feeling the press, the paper, an experience that turns a simple card into a keepsake.
Volunteers and members of the Ashantilly Press will be on hand to share insights and guide you through the process.
Whether you’re a longtime fan of Ashantilly, a lover of art and history, or simply looking for a meaningful way to spend a Saturday, this event has something for everyone. Come solo, bring a friend, or make it a family outing; it’s a fantastic event no one should miss.
Honoring Bill Haynes and the Ashantilly Press
The Open Studio is also an excellent opportunity to learn about Bill Haynes, whose vision and passion led to the creation of the Ashantilly Press. His legacy lives on through the presses, the printed works, and the creative community that continues to gather at Ashantilly.
