Session II: Jessica Spring <https://millsbookartsummer.org/session-ii-jessica-spring/> June 11-15, 2018 The Daredevil is in the Details: Mastering Letterpress Composition Armed with composing sticks and line gauges, we will delve into the finer points—and picas—of typesetting and composition, kerning and letterspacing, and multiple color registration. Students will start small by creating ephemera on a scale where detailed work really sings. We’ll experiment with Daredevil Furniture—lasercut furniture designed at Springtide Press—to set metal and wood type and ornaments in circles, curves and angles for printing on platen or cylinder presses. Historic methods and tricks of the trade will be covered, as well as effective makeready, ink mixing and additives, and strategies for edition printing. Students will complete the class by creating editioned prints to exchange, plus take a field trip to see typecasting in action at M&H Foundry in San Francisco. This workshop is appropriate for those with some letterpress printing experience who want to build on their skills. Jessica Spring learned to set real metal type in 1989 and has been a letterpress printer ever since, most recently inventing Daredevil Furniture to help other printers set type in circles, curves and angles. Her work at Springtide Press—artist books, broadsides and ephemera—is included in collections around the country and abroad. She collaborates on the Dead Feminists broadside series and is co-author of Dead Feminists: Historical Heroines in Living Color. Spring has an MFA from Columbia College Chicago and teaches book arts at Pacific Lutheran University in Tacoma, Washington. www.springtidepress.com <http://springtidepress.com/> Find out more and apply now at http://millsbookartsummer.org/ Questions about the Mills College Summer Institute for Book and Print Technologies or the application process, can be directed to [log in to unmask] Adrienne Suzio The Mills College Summer Institute for Book & Print Technologies http://millsbookartsummer.org/ https://www.facebook.com/BookArtSummer/ <http://millsbookartsummer.org/> @millscollegebookart <http://millsbookartsummer.org/> ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Mail submissions to [log in to unmask] For information about joining ARLIS/NA see: http://www.arlisna.org/membership/join-arlisna Send administrative matters (file requests, subscription requests, etc) to [log in to unmask] ARLIS-L Archives and subscription maintenance: http://lsv.arlisna.org Questions may be addressed to list owner (Judy Dyki) at: [log in to unmask] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
