Show & Tell: Rachel Hays of Taxonomy Press

Show & Tell with Rachel Hays of Taxonomy Press Thursday, July 17, 2025 – 6:30 PM at Quimby’s Bookstore

Join Detroit-based printmaker and publisher Rachel Hays of for an evening of visual storytelling and reflection on sustaining a creative press practice. In this Show & Tell session, Rachel will share recent work and guide us through the systems, collaborations, and small habits that help her keep going as she navigates the shift to full-time independent publishing.

Expect an honest, low-key conversation about the creative process, risograph printing, and staying grounded outside the algorithm. Perfect for anyone curious about zines, small press life, or slow, intentional ways of making.
