Letterpress Clinic with the interns

Yesterday, I showed our new interns around the letterpress studio. We set some type and practiced printing on one of the Vandercooks.

Here's Melissa getting the hang of setting type:

And here's a cute Harry Potter themed valentine printed by Anna:

Can't wait to see what else they do during their internship!

And just a small plug: check out what else is happening in the letterpress studio over at our blog: www.pyramidletterpress.blogspot.com!

Meet our new Studio Interns!

We are happy to welcome our winter studio interns: Melissa Salazar, Anna Spelman and Maria Gloria Robalino!
Melissa, a California native and recent UC Santa Cruz graduate, finds the east coast cold weather to be a bit cold, but excited about being back in an artistic community and learning the nuts and bolts of a running an art center.
Anna Spelman is a lover and maker of artist books, and a recent Washington University graduate. She looks forward to sharpening her skills in book arts, and learning new techniques in papermaking and printmaking.
Maria is a current student at Swartmore College, and was with us for a one-week externship. We wish her well with her studies.
