Today I got a break from the routine & hosted a field trip from Binghamton University Graphic Arts Class. We got to cast some type and print a little broadside on the Pearl No. 11 Letterpress.
Each student got a turn on the foot powered antique machine printing a piece we titled "Mind Your P's & Q's". Even Professor Mike Wesko put the petal to the metal to print a few pieces.
We also did a little demo of the Heidelberg Windmill and printed something every student can put to practical use - some drink coasters.
I hope everyone had a little fun & learned something new about the art of letterpress. I'm looking forward to the second session later this week!
