Getting Ready for the Fair Pt.2
On August 15, Rich Tautenhahn printed cuts of antique presses from the Museum’s collection on a Heidelberg Windmill. He used gold ink and printed on beautiful donated cardstock by Envelopments. Sets of these prints will be for sale at the Fair and as one of the items you can win in the Raffle! Don’t forget you can take Rich’s Windmill class on Sunday, August 30th, there’s still room.
Getting Ready for the Fair Pt.1
(Printed on Envelopments Geisha-STA00 cardstock)
Thanks to the generous donation of beautiful paper by Envelopments, I started to print “flags” for the Fair using hand-set wood and lead type from the Museum. I printed the flags by hand on my Vandercook-4 at the Irvine Fine Arts Center. Here they are drying en masse.

By the way you can rent time at the Irvine Fine Arts Center for your own letterpress projects. Click here for details on renting press time as well as letterpress classes at the center. I believe the IFAC is the only publicly accessible place to take letterpress classes in Orange County at this time (correct me if I’m wrong!). Madeleine Zygarewicz, one of the instructors, will be at the Fair to answer any questions. That’s me on the left here:
