Leading up to the market, we’ll be sharing vendor spotlight posts that give you a chance to meet some of our amazing vendors in advance of the market. We are really excited to welcome Robin and Brannon of R&B Printery to their first Vintage Charlotte Summer Market. R&B Printery is an eco-friendly letterpress company specializing in greeting cards, here is a little more about their process and products:

Robin and Brannon Carter of R&B Printery, in Spartanburg, South Carolina are reviving the age-old art of letterpress printing. Creating handmade, eco-friendly works of art to inspire your family’s handwritten memories.Above: Brannon works to ready a printing job on a vintage Craftsman style Chandler & Price printing press, circa 1927.
The gentle squeak, metal clanking and whir of a century-old printing press provides a rhythmic symphony of sounds as they feed and print each card one-at-a-time. Vintage wood and metal hand-set typographic letters are combined with Robin’s hand-drawn designs and a vibrant color palette of hand-mixed soy and reclaimed inks. Above: The hallmark characteristic of letterpress art is the deep, sunken impression of the print.
Robin and Brannon are artisans by trade and environmentalists at heart. As a Green America® Certified Business, they strive to protect natural forests and the wildlife that depend on them by diverting reusable paper waste from landfills. Post-consumer recycling helps create a sustainable market for recycled materials. They encourage their clients to continue the cycle by recycling or composting their letterpress cards and biodegradable, plant-based bio-sleeve packaging.
Stop by their booth on June 2-3, 2017 during our Vintage Charlotte Summer Market and check out their complete line of special occasion and general greeting cards. They also do custom printing for special events and businesses!
Leading up to the market, we’ll be sharing vendor spotlight posts that give you a chance to meet some of our amazing vendors in advance of the market. We are really excited to welcome Katie of Waxing Gibbous Pottery to her first Vintage Charlotte Summer Market. Waxing Gibbous Pottery is a handmade ceramics shop, here is Katie with a little about her process:

I make ceramic objects for everyday use that capture a memory or a daydream of an exotic place. The time I have spent in the homes of Mexican immigrants and in the tiled rooms of Spain and Morocco has nudged my aesthetic toward bold folk imagery and geometric patterns. I am currently obsessed with Moroccan “zellige” tile mosaics and the palm fronds I saw all over Costa Rica.I convert images from my travel photographs into paper stencils and silkscreen patterns which are then applied using slip and underglaze to wheel thrown and handbuilt pots. The images transfer imperfectly to the surface of the pot, hinting of worn plaster walls and peeling paint. I work primarily in earthenware which uses less energy to fire and produces bright colors in clay and glazes. My forms are sturdy and comfortable, designed for the daily grind but reminiscent of a faraway place.
