Birch & Bristlecone Press is a collaboration between me (Birch) and my sister-in-law Katherine (Bristlecone). We created letterpressed paper goods together for over six years, including calendars featuring Katherine's poetry and my visual expression. This labor of love taught me everything I'd ever want to know about overprinting, how to operate a guillotine paper cutter, and the ins and outs of running an Etsy shop, among other things. Alas, after Katherine and I both experienced actual labor and were juggling young children and professional careers, Birch & Bristlecone went on semi-permanent hiatus.
