Yep, that's me!  Someday I'll add a real head shot...

Ephemera is run by Tara 
Bliven -- that's me.  I was first
charmed by letterpress
printing in college.  There I
fell headfirst for the slow art
of printing by hand, the worn
edges of well-loved wood type,
and the quiet pleasure of a
stack of freshly printed cards.

All of our stationery is printed
in my home studio on either
a hand-cranked Vandercook
(circa 1966), or pedal-operated
Chandler & Price (circa 1912).
