The LETTERPRESS RESIDENCY  is a technical residency focused on letterpress printing, and is based at our rural campus in Colton, Oregon. Camp Colton provides artists and thinkers of various disciplines an opportunity for secluded production, research, and reflection in a rural setting. The Colton campus offers access to Stelo Press, a letterpress studio nestled within 85-acres of mature forest and hiking trails, with the sound of Canyon Creek flowing next to the studio.

We at Stelo humbly acknowledge that our programming is being held on the traditional lands of the Multnomah, Kathlamet, Clackamas, bands of Chinook, Tualatin Kalapuya, Molalla and many other Tribes who made their homes along the Columbia (Wimahl) and Willamette (Whilamut) rivers.

​We offer respectful recognition to the Native communities in our region, and to those who have stewarded this land throughout the generations. Please consider the many legacies of violence, displacement, migration, and settlement that bring us together here today. We recognize the continual displacement of Native people by the United States and are committed to working to dismantle the ongoing effects of this settler colonial legacy. Please join us in respecting the contributions Indigenous peoples have, and continue to make to our community, country, and world.
