ABOUT CAMP NEVERNICE

Laura Baisden cut her teeth on letterpress blocks as a young pup, putting away type and cranking posters for Bryce McCloud at Isle of Printing from 2006­-2010. There, she learned to love carving and the process of letterpress printing. Then, she got a job at Hatch Show Print and really honed her type­setting skills designing posters for all kinds of jobs­ local and international. In five years, she designed and printed hundreds of posters, redistributed thousands of letters and taught about 70 interns the ins and outs of letterpress printing.

With the help of Julie Belcher from Pioneer House, Laura opened her very own letterpress shop in Knoxville, TN in 2015. Based on the principles she learned over the last several years combined with her individual style and Pioneer House’s extensive wood type collection, Camp Nevernice sought to create beautiful hand ­crafted products for whoever needs ‘em.

In the fall of 2018, Laura moved her press and equipment back to Nashville, to open up a new shop and store-front of her own. Camp Nevernice offers custom letterpress products to suit needs for all things on paper using her own two hands and her Vandercook cylinder press.

Happy belated ONE YEAR anniversary of being in this spot! One year ago, last week, I moved from Knoxville to Nashville. The space wasn’t quite ready and we overhauled it in a day so we could move all the equipment in. Then @mrpeanutdancing and I worked around the mess for the next few months until I finally had a working studio. Timeline: 1. the video is from Aug 2018 when I signed the lease. 2-5: October 5, the move-in day that was delayed 24 hrs while we flipped the space, then suddenly it was 2 am and we had walls and shelving and a ceiling?! 6: Later that week, hanging lights 7: Early December- No electricity yet...still painting. 8: April 29- @isawthe_sign painted my window sign. 9: dramatic difference— brought to you by @timfindlen and @isawthe_sign plus a coat of paint 10. Me, feeling grateful after looking through all these pictures and realizing what a crazy amount of work that was and how thankful I am to all the people who helped. Why do we do what we do?? I don’t have an answer. But gosh darn it, I’m doing it. And you helped.

A lil newspaper clipping of yours truly sharing trade secrets alongside a panel of professionals. #stlprintweek #ladiesofletterpress #plusafewgoodmen
it’s been quite a year of teaching, so i figures...WHAT THE HECK, why not teach some more??!! I’m driving to StL tomorrow-Sunday to teach a speedy linocut reduction class during #printweek with @ladiesofltrprs at @centralprintstudios ! Hope to high five some friends while I’m there and see what everyone’s been cranking out. ✋🏻 . . . . @firecrackerpress @lordymercy #whatwhat #linocut #linocutreduction #printmaking #letterpress #tricksofthetrade #smallbusinessowner #teachersofinstagram
We’re hard at work in the studio these days so we don’t post regular “open hours”, but please feel free to DM the shop if you’re in the area and curious about the process and/or want to see prints. If we’re around, we’re happy to say hello! Also- there’s been some mapping mixup with Google and Apple (nobody’s perfect 🤷‍♀️). Google still thinks the shop is in Knoxville (It’s in Nashville) and Apple says we’re a campsite. (We don’t have space for your RV....the shop could FIT in your RV). So check the address in the profile for a more accurate account! #allarewelcome #yallcome
@probselissa and @sarlesem designed a promo poster for @campnevernice 💙#aintnothingliketherealthing #chooseletterpress #hirecampnevernice #wouldyoupickspotifyovervinyl? #localmusicians #looknofurther #letterpressposters #gigposters #albumart #handcrafted in #nashville
Allow me to introduce my two fall interns!!! Sari (feeding the chickens across the street some bread with a side of SASS) is visiting from San Fran, passing 2 weeks in style, learning to kern. Meanwhile, local hero Elissa B will stay on with me til December, putting her righteous letterpress skills to good use while she finishes up her senior year at Austin Peay. I’m so lucky to have such fine company helping me run the shop. (They designed and printed these cards! Woot! Getting @campnevernice back in the wholesale biz!) . . . @sarlesem @probselissa
I’m teaching #experimentaltypography at @watkinscollege this semester. This is me diagramming how to typeset diagonally or staggered. (Either that, or this is a wild football play...you decide.)
The window saga continues #ifyougiveamouseacookie . . . @timfindlen brought the windows back from the rotten dead. I’m scraping and painting the rest.
These raccoons are up to no good. #chrisstapleton @chrisstapleton . . . #gigposter #countrymusic #letterpress #handmade #handprinted #linocut #raccoons #michigan #grandrapids #camping #outdoors #canoe
