For the second year in a row, we've been lucky enough to have dozen talented designers/printers willing to donate their time, sweat and tears to create the Pyramid Atlantic Letterpress Calendar. Each designer was given a month, paper size and the freedom to design their page however they wanted. It's been so exciting to see the finished pages as they begin to appear in the Letterpress Studio! Drop by and take a peek - and come to the Pyramid table at the Book Arts Fair to buy one!
Welcome Fall 2010 Interns! Michael, Sada, and Jessica are all very excited about getting involved with all facets of Pyramid Atlantic. DC-based graphic designer Michael (right), international student Sannah (mid) from Korea, and local college grad Jessica(left) make up this fall's team.
Pyramid's multifaceted programs and projects keep interns on the move. This fall, the biggest job is preparation for the Book Arts Fair in November. Additionally, varied activities like greeting visitors, assisting artists, designing collateral, completing classic admin duties, tweeting, and even making paper are all in a day's work. Interns also create their own artwork in preparation for an exhibition as a culmination of the experience.
The interns hold wooden letters used in fine printing. Soon they will learn to use them!
Calling all book artists, printmakers, papermakers, publishers, collectors, art lovers, and all who are intrigued by the book as art–Save the date! The 11th Biennial Pyramid Atlantic Book Arts Fair and Conference will be on November 5-7 (Friday-Sunday).
