Our History of Printing
Our July 12 meeting and program will be held at the
Baylor Book Arts & Letterpress Lab. Guild members Sha Towers and Jeanne
Dittmann will be our presenters for the day. We will gather at Jones Library on
the Baylor University campus at 10 am for a short meeting, then the morning
program will cover some of the history of printing, including an opportunity to
illuminate your own page from the Gutenberg Bible (all supplies provided).
While there isn’t room for everyone to be in the lab at once, all will have an
opportunity to walk through the space to get a sense of what we’ve been up to.
Parking is available in front of the Wiethorn Building and
the School of Engineering and Computer Science (Google link here), and
slightly closer, there are a couple of handicapped spaces in front of the
McCrary Music Building (Google link
here). Both are a short walk to the entrance of Jones Library. We will
meet right inside Jones Library and direct you to the classroom where will meet
in the morning.
Afternoon workshop for hands-on
printing time
The
afternoon workshop is limited to the first 10 people who sign up and pay for
the workshop ($75 total: $25 for the guild and another $50 for the Baylor lab
