Having created greeting cards and wedding invitations that have gone viral to designing custom hand-lettered fonts for brands like Little Caesars and Maker's Mark, Arley has taught lettering from Reykjavik, Iceland to the Google Headquarters in New York and more! He's been a Lettering Judge for the Type Directors Club TDC70 Competition! He's been the keynote speaker for the Greeting Card Association annual conference!

After having received her BFA in Printmaking from RISD in 2007, Calderini chose to redefine the hierarchical printshop archetype by establishing and managing Rhode Island's only community printshop at AS220 with a grant from AmeriCorps VISTA. She has taught letterpress at the AS220 Printshop and Penland School of Crafts, and has spoken at conferences such as the Kernference hosted by Goodtype and at the annual Wayzgoose at Hamilton Wood Type and Printing Museum. When she's not baking blueberry pies or hunting for long lost litho stones that people have been using as door stops, she's flying Atlas, her 70 foot, 54,000 cu. ft. hot air balloon that she built in 2007.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eRegistration is non-refundable or exchangeable.

We hired a prairie wagon. Near the top we had to leave the wagon and go the rest of the way on mules. I was very tired. But when I saw the view, I felt great joy. All the wonder of America seemed displayed there, with the sea-like expanse.’\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eBates had personally experienced sexist prejudice and discrimination, had witnessed the ravages of the industrial revolution in both America and Britain, had seen first hand urban poverty and misery, and keenly wished for equality. It was this desire for an all-inclusive egalitarian American community that inspired the poem, which was written during the severe economic depression of 1893.” -\u003cem\u003ePonder, Melinda M.
