A special opportunity to work with Johanna Drucker

Demonstration of Stochastic Poetics Printing
10:00 – 12:00
The defining feature of letterpress is quadrature, squareness, and the perfection of the impression depends on being able to lock type up with pressure on a perfectly set form. This demonstration illustrates ways to print outside those formal limitations, freeing letters from their usual linear arrangement. Overprinting creates the illusion of movement and dynamic action. Together these two approaches result in unpredictable outcomes on the sheet.

A Letterpress Discussion
12:30 – 3:00
Group discussion of work-in-progress, and other works by Johanna Drucker and participants.
An opportunity to exchange ideas about book arts, printing, writing practices in their relation with each other.
Bring work to the discussion to share and/or for advice, input, brainstorming, or critical discussion.
