Lessons from Local Leaders:

Lisa Hutchinson & Cathleen Titcomb

When life handed her an unexpected turn during the pandemic, a former nail technician grasped the pen of opportunity, crafting a new path in calligraphy and letterpress printing. Her tale of transition into the wedding industry, detailed in our latest episode, is a narrative of artistry and resilience. Together with the owner of Curious Fox Press, they’ve woven personal stories into bespoke wedding stationery, leaving us entranced by the intimate process of turning love into art. Discover how these artisans use meticulous details to honor unique narratives, like using hemp paper or strawberry wreaths, to encapsulate the essence of each couple’s journey. 

There’s something profoundly special about holding a piece of paper that tells a story, something our guests from Curious Fox Press know all too well. They join us to reminisce over the craft of creating Quaker-style wedding certificates, where every signature and flourish comes together to form a timeless keepsake. The passion for their artistry shines through as they discuss the care that goes into each handcrafted piece, likening it to the ‘farm to fork’ movement—but with paper. The episode is rich with tales of overcoming production challenges and the heartfelt dedication that brings an extra touch of magic to their work.

Our conversation doesn’t shy away from the deeper currents of life’s journey, acknowledging the precious moments that paper can capture and the enduring memories it can hold. We celebrate the beauty of life, from the heartache of personal loss to the simple joy of a perfect cup of coffee, underscoring the importance of cherishing the little things. Our guests’ stories of transformation, resilience, and the artful celebration of life’s milestones remind us of the power of creativity and the profound impact of preserving life’s moments through the timeless elegance of calligraphy and letterpress. Join us as we echo the sentiments of gratitude and the fullness of life in every word pressed onto paper.
