About this experience
Immerse yourself in history when you spend the day in our authentic Print Shop complete with a 150 year old paper cutter and foot powered print press. Learn techniques and safe handling from our skilled heritage artisan, then create your own printed creation!
In the Victorian era, it took 7 years to become a Master Printer. Here at Sherbrooke Village, we have one of our very own, and you can be her "Printer's Devil" for the day! Patty-Lou will help you dress the part, learn to type set, cut paper using 150 years old paper cutter, and run the foot powered printing press; creating memories and souvenirs that will last a lifetime.
What will you create? Will it be a favorite recipe from the Printer's gallery, personalized party invitations, or your own unique business cards that YOU made with your own two hands? The hustle and bustle of the print shop near the river with the cozy feeling of the woodstove inside is surely a place you'll enjoy spending the day!
