GOOD IMPRESSIONS: READINGS FROM THE PRESS BED
Good Impressions is a free event that shares the joy of poetry, letterpress printing, and community. Following a brief reading and discussion, visitors are invited to crank Sawtooth’s classic Vandercook No. 3–the gold standard for letterpresses in the 20th century–and leave with their own handprinted, hand-signed broadside.
The letterpress is set in advance, so all participants have to do is crank and marvel as their print is revealed onto a sheet of beautiful Hahnemühle Bugra paper, creating a frame-worthy piece of art that is theirs to keep.
Our Good Impressions events are free and open to everyone, but we ask folks to sign up so we have enough materials on hand.
We’ll return with more events soon!
