Mighty Tieton, home of artisan businesses including Marquand Editions | Tieton and Tieton Farm and Creamery, is featured in the “Small Town Getaways” article in the October 2010 issue of Seattle Metropolitan:
Don’t miss the 10 x 10 x 10 x Tieton exhibition, open Wednesday through Sunday from noon-3 p.m. until October 10.
The catalogue, featuring juried works from the show, is hot off the press and for sale at our on-line store.

New York-based artist and Etsy phenomenon Jane Mount paints the books that have most informed the identity of readers, translating the bookcase into portraiture as a part of her Ideal Bookshelf series.
Most recently Mount was nominated for Best DIY Designer of 2010 by Venus, joining the ranks of paper doll maker Black Apple and darling design site Boy Girl Party.
The simple idea—send a photo of the spines of 10-20 select books and Mount paints away—has exploded over the past three years, earning press in the The New Yorker and The Paris Review. In publishing’s current Kindle climate it’s refreshing to find art that commemorates and engages lovers of bound ink and paper.
Seattle NPR affiliate KPLU recently ran this story on Ed Marquand’s work cultivating art, culture and commerce in a small town in the middle of Washington State. Maria Solorio, who does beautiful binding work in our letterpress studio, is also featrued.

Considering a library remodel? Why not install the Ark, part of the recent Architects Build Small Spaces show at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London. Connecting two floors of the exhibition, the structure is a climbable freestanding bookshelf by Rintala Eggertsson Architects in Oslo. It comes complete with reading bench. The perfect place to waste away a weekend.
