Last week, the UANews interviewed me about why book art matters and why our might Collective promotes old printing processes like letterpress. Here is the video the reporter put together from the interview during one of our binding workshops. (Note: ignore the photos of my Talking face. It’s not pretty.)
Over the last few weeks, we’ve been moving into an entirely new and pretty huge space. This space now houses a ton of new equipment, acquired by the excellent Zimmermanns this summer. Now adorning our building: a total of four (!) Vandercooks, one Chandler & Price, two board shears, two guillotines and a TON of new type. More than a ton. Like hundreds of new trays of type. It’s incredible. We’re still arranging things but here it is.
Over the next few weeks, we’ll be making some small – or perhaps large – changes to our site, contributors and general face-life things. Stay tuned.
Hello, humans! Welcome to the virtual home of the Book Art Collective, hailing from the University of Arizona in Tucson. The mission of our organization is to bring book related arts to the community at large, to educate and to provide a forum in which students and community members can learn about and practice the various crafts of the book.
We are generally located within the U of A’s School of Art, where we have a lovely little lab containing letterpresses, type, paper and a beloved guillotine.
