I will be at the St. Peter Library demonstrating letterpress printing tools and techniques. Several other artists are also exhibiting at the library.

There is a printable map and an interactive map on the Art Stroll website. The St. Peter Library is located at 601 S Washington Ave, Saint Peter, MN 56082. And yes, the library will be open extended hours during the Art Stroll, so you check out some books too. Stop in at the library and make a free bookmark on a genuine, antique, old-fashioned, human-powered printing press with hand-set letterpress type.
