Through winter, let's meet in our Typewriter TakeOut zone. Come Spring, we'll re-open our whimsical blooming Typewriter Garden to showcase typewriters and lead small Touch Typing classes.
Many thanks to Lindsay Weightman for conceiving of this space as such a bountiful place and making it happen. And to Ashley Gehman, industrial designer and stylist, for helping to re-deploy the garden for community use. Her edgey, delightful elements provoke endless smiles. John Bertolino, Handyman Supremo, manifested so many of our ideas and contributed his own as well. We also celebrate Karin Pearsall our talented graphic and signage designer.
