Bio

Half Empty Press is Gillian Beck!

Gillian lives in Portland, Oregon, best city ever. She began producing her own cards in small quantities during college, when she came out with a yearly edition of Bitter Valentines.

Half Empty Press was born when Gillian acquired the means to mass produce--a Print Gocco machine and a Kelsey Excelsior tabletop letterpress.

Gillian has more crafting hobbies than her house can hold--crocheting, knitting, sewing, spinning, bookbinding--and she can sometimes be found leading Gocco workshops at the Independent Publishing Resource Center (www.iprc.org).

I work and am in school, so please be understanding if it takes me a few days to mail things or to complete special orders.
