Baby's First Letterpress Project

I have recently been learning how to letterpress for my volunteer job at the Independent Publishing Resource Center.  Here's some postcards I made to send out with new membership packets.  Join and you may get one too!

PSU Printmaking Open Studio

I hung my prints for a PSU Printmaking open studio night earlier this month. Here are some photos of the installation. Photos by Erika Diehl.

These are the prints I have been working on in the last couple months. The dark brown paper has been hand-dyed with tea. The black shapes in a couple of them are the result of inking up pieces of glass and running them through the press, which breaks them more and memorializes the moment of breakage in the print. I have always been fascinated with graph paper and so this seems to be a natural direction. The 11th and 12th images down are printed with white ink. These prints are all fairly small, averaging about 5" x 8".
