South Street Seaport Museum announces special Winter, Spring, and Summer dates are now on sale for its popular Print Your Own Stationery workshop.



Each month, you now have two opportunities to join the expert printers at Bowne & Co. at 211 Water Street in a hands-on workshop! Sign up today for an immersive 3-hour program, where you can work together with Bowne’s designers to produce your own custom set of stationery—from start to finish.



In this workshop, you get to set type from the Seaport Museum’s collection of historic fonts, mix ink, cut paper, and print a bespoke edition of 35 notecards using a 19th century printing press. Great for all skill levels, the workshop will engage you in every part of the printing process—we even teach you how to clean the press at the end!



Advanced registration is required. Anyone ages 12 and up is welcome, and all supplies are included in the cost of the workshop. Tickets are $100. All participants get to take home their set of custom-made stationery valued at $250.



These popular workshops fill quickly, so claim your tickets today! If you don’t see tickets for a specific date, that workshop has reached capacity.

About Bowne & Co.

The original Bowne & Co. was established by Robert Bowne in 1775 and is one of New York’s oldest printing firms. In 1975, the 19th-century-style print shop that you can visit today was created to honor the Bicentennial of Bowne & Co., Inc., in partnership with the South Street Seaport Museum and the Bowne Foundation. Today, it weaves together New York’s maritime and printing heritage through the Bowne & Co. Printing Office––a workspace that continues the age-old tradition of job (or small batch) printing using historic presses from South Street Seaport Museum’s working collection––and Bowne & Co. Stationers, a 19th century-style gift emporium selling a carefully-curated selection of unique wares including books, stationery, and oddities, as well as house-designed and -printed paper goods. seaportmuseum.org/bowne-co-stationers
