EM Space, book arts co-op is having an open house this Saturday the 18th from 6-10 to celebrate moving into our new space.  Wewere previously in a 425 square foot space in the Olympic Mills Commerce Center and now we have moved into a 2,000 square foot space located at 407 SE Ivon   Street.  The building itself can be a little hard to find so I would suggest looking it up on google.  We are near OMSI and the end of the Spring Water corridor trail.

We will have a DJ, food and beverages, a silent auction, raffle, and a show of EM Space members work.  I hope you can all come by and check outour new space.  Feel free to invite friends and forward this email to anyone you think might be interested.  We are also seeking new members so if you know of anyone who is interested in letterpress printing or bookbinding please encourage them to come to our open house.  For $100 a month you get access to printing & binding equipment as well as being part of a really amazing group of people.  If anyone can’t make it but is interested in becoming a studio member you can email . You can also check out our new website, which we hope to add more to very soon, at http://www.em-space.org.

And if anyone can contribute anything to our silent auction or raffle please let me know.  Items could be anything from a piece of your own artwork to a gift certificate to New Seasons to an overnight stay at a hotel or small bed & breakfast.  If you have anything to contribute please let me know.  We are trying to get items listed on the website ASAP.  We would like all items to be at the space this coming Thursday so we can start getting things set up but if you have an item to contribute and can’t get it to me (or EM Space) by Thursday we will still accept it Friday or Saturday.

We are expecting a good turn out and I hope to see you there.
