About "The Village Goose"
Who I am...
I am Kay Hodges aka The Village Goose. I make art pieces from vintage & antique letterpress and printer blocks. It is amazing to use this beautiful, old history to create one-of-a-kind heirlooms. Can I make one for you?
What I do....
I express my passion for wood type letterpress by creating collages, word groups & other art forms. The beautiful patinas, fonts & sizes help save this amazing history. I use orphan type & printer blocks making each one unique. I am blessed to work with this great medium.
Where I'll Be...
Hello letterpress friends❣️ I am no longer doing vintage shows, as bringing all my inventory just became too labor intensive. I have an Etsy Shop that has many finished items. I am taking custom orders and making appointments at my studio for choosing ready-made items or helping create a custom piece! You have plenty of time to take care of some Christmas gifts that they will never forget! Call or email me soon! Thank you for all the support during my 15 years of doing wonderful shows! I met fabulous people like you! Let me know if I can help with any letterpress need!
I'm leaving time for custom orders for Christmas! My garage studio is open by appointment. Call me: (916) 479-1595
Passion for Antiques
At The Village Goose, we have a deep passion for antique preservation. i am dedicated to preserving the beauty of each piece I work on.

I have 1000's of these printer blocks!
These printer blocks were used to illustrate or advertise produce many years ago. Most of the blocks are over 100 years old! It's amazing how these old blocks still work in our lives today!
