Lots of happiness in this class!
Piles of supplies.
Hands-on instruction.
Always place the brayer on its handle to avoid damaging the cylinder.
Printmaking on the Excelsior.
Allison and Holland made a numbered edition of 100 inserts for our bookmaking project.
A great class at the Makerie. Maybe next time I can do more than snoop with my camera!
From the Makerie website: "Allison Bozeman wears many aprons as a letterpress pixie / woodtype worshiper / indie ink siren / vintage fabric vixen and owner of BirdDog Press in Lyons. What started as a penchant for pen and paper in the digital age, an obsession with a more tactile, interactive experience grew. Feathered with more than 14 years of design expertise in her cap, Allison began spreading her wings into letterpress printing, non-traditional materials and a handmade eco-friendly approach. BirdDog Press was born when a rescued hunting dog inspired a design + letterpress studio with a trained eye for craftsmanship in place of perfectionism, a love of pattern and perspective and a collaboration of history and modern technology."
