Create, Crank & Repeat: An Afternoon at Just A Jar
What kind of people would answer the door to this shockingly-mint green house in Marietta? What kind of people spend days carving and letter-pressing? As my friend and I pulled up to the home of Bobby Rosenstock and Sara Alway, I sort of hoped we’d step into a time warp: Bobby in suspenders and Sara…
