GD I for Thursday, Nov. 1

Hold on to your books that we bound yesterday. They will not be turned in for a grade. I wanted to introduce you to how it works so you can bind a project we have coming up...

We will meet in the Print Shop at the Visual Arts Building at 11:00 on Thursday. I will be doing a demo on letterpress printing and you will be setting some type and printing as well.

Bring 2-3 large sheets (22" x 30" or so) of good quality paper such as Rives BFK, Arches, Stonehenge or any kind of printmaking paper. Soft, cotton rag papers work best for letterpress because they show the impressions on the paper. I understand Debrah sells some papers, so you might try to buy some from her. They should also have something at the bookstore.
