United in Isolation: An Online Exhibition. Letterpress Printers Respond to a Pandemic

May 17, 2020

Join your fellow letterpress printers from around the world in a virtual exhibition showcasing letterpress printers’ responses to the Covid 19 pandemic.

The exhibit is being organized by Peter Duffin and Samuel Larson from Animales de Lorca press in coordination with the United in Isolation team.

To be included in the exhibit, simply send Peter Duffin at PedroDuffin@gmail.com a good quality photo of the work you created in response to the pandemic (this could be a public service announcement ´Wash Your Hands!´ or a more poetic response to the sense of isolation created to this unique time in our history—all manner of responses are welcome). Some brief description will also be required.

The deadline for submissions is June 14, 2020 with online exhibit taking place in the summer of 2020. Peter and Samuel are hoping to organize a physical exhibit of this work too, this will be somewhat dependent government stay-in-place orders and the progress of the pandemic.

Whittington Press Open Day. 07.09.2019.

April 7, 2020

It is been a while since I’ve heard about the annual Whittington Press Open Day, the event I absolutely wanted to visit but never had a chance to. So when Patrick Goossens from Letter-kunde Press (BE) kindly offered me a ride I said 'Great! I'm in!'.

Unfold the wrinkles of time.

January 22, 2020

Time for the slightly late New Year's card post. Usually each year I make time to design, typeset and print the cards to send to the fellow designers/printers. I'm sure many of you already got a few cards over the years, some of them in the form of newspapers, posters or…cards. Well, typesetting with wood and metal type, proofing, making corrections, letterpress printing are the things I enjoy the most (well, except the make-ready part which might take an extra hour). But this time I've done some typesetting for someone else: for a colleague letterpress printer Jozias Boone.

Visiting Chalcography department in Brussels. 11.07.19.

September 3, 2019

Yeah, it is summertime! Time to take a break, visit places, meet old and new friends and enjoy the sun. So last week we, a group of printmaking enthusiasts, decided to take a day off to visit the Chalcography department of the Royal Library of Belgium/KBR in Brussels, currently lead by talented illustrator and printmaker Leen Van Hulst. To be honest, before meeting Leen during the letterpress workshop in Antwerp earlier this year I had no idea about this department at all. So when she kindly suggested to visit it we immediately scheduled the appointment.

Visiting Bodoni Museum in Parma. 28.06.19.

July 14, 2019

Every year, in June, I take a few days off to travel to Milan to attend the Letterpress Workers Summit in Milan, a unique event gathering more than letterpress practitioners from Europe and US (blogpost about the event will follow next month). After a short train ride from Milan, we, a group of 10-12 people arrived in the city of Parma. The Bodoni Museum is only open till 13 o'clock and it is better to arrange an appointment before visiting, although it requires a certain knowledge of the Italian language. And we have to thank John Christopher (Flowers & Fleurons, UK) for contacting the museum staff.
