The C.C. Stern Type Foundry opens its doors to the public this weekend, their collection of aged foundry equipment and metal type on display.
The C.C. Stern Type Foundry will say hello to the world this weekend, excited to share the heavy equipment and hard work they’ve been wrapped up in for the last few months. Self-described as a working museum (“with an emphasis on ‘working’”), C.C. Stern boasts one of the largest collections of Monotype casting matricies in the United States. As one of the only working type foundries on the West Coast, the museum is stepping in to fill a void as a resource for the Pacific Northwest’s growing community of designers, book artists and letterpress printers.
