One of my first students in my Riverside/Leslieville studio was Micheline Courtemanche. At the time she was a local who had just bought a floor size platen press that her husband was beautifully restoring. A few years later Micheline and her family moved out to the east coast where they have set up their letterpress print shop called Betty & Bing". If you have a chance, Micheline will be in Toronto to do a workshop on  designing for letterpress at The Nook.   Micheline Courtemanche at The Nook
