Craftsmanship Series Highlights Gracie Fenech of Freshly Squeezed

Comstock Park, Mich (November 29, 2021) This gift-giving season, Perrin Brewing Company continues to support local artists through the Craftsmanship Series, videos highlighting Michigan makers and their stories. Our latest featured artist is Gracie Fenech, Grand Rapids letterpress artist and owner of Freshly Squeezed.

Fenech crafts paper products by hand, using a pedal-operated, vintage printing press. Her unique paper products, including invitations, stationary, greeting cards and more, can be found on her online store here.

When asked what craftsmanship means to her, Fenech said, “I obviously use machines so I can’t take all the credit, but I think [it’s] using tools to create something cool that you can’t just replicate in any other way – something that is unique, something that has more heart to it, than something that is mass produced.” Click here to watch Fenech’s full Craftsmanship Series interview.

To continue the support of our local West Michigan artists, Perrin is partnering with Fenech for a giveaway! One lucky winner will be randomly selected to receive a set of hand-crafted “Greetings from Beer City” cards, and a $50 gift card to Perrin Pub. Here’s how to enter:

The contest starts today and runs through December 12 at 11:59 pm. Winner must live in the US. This contest is not affiliated with anyone else.

From our craft to yours, we’d like to say “cheers” to our local artisans this holiday season! Direct questions to Lindsey VanDenBoom at lindsey@perrinbrewing.com.
