Igloo Letterpress provides a near-extinct service to residents of Worthington and the Greater Columbus Area, hand-crafting beautiful designs using traditional letterpress equipment. Founder Allison Chapman got her start in her grandfather's print shop, the machines of which now comprise Igloo's entire inventory of printing machines. Chapman, who boasts ten years of experience as an instructor and education director at the Minnesota Center for Book Arts, is on hand to sell her custom wares, help guests create the perfect printed item, or facilitate the open studio sessions that allow guests to get their hands dirty (and inky) and make a personalized souvenir. Featuring business cards, invitations, mailers, bookbinding and more, Igloo Letterpress is a must visit in order to keep this endangered artisan craft up and running.
