Printing at the December Meeting

Printing was focus of December's meeting of Salt City Book Arts, once again held at Syracuse University Library, this time down in Peter's Preservation Department. Carrie and DJ were hosts and demonstrated the workings of DJ's press with some polymer plates Carrie had prepared especially for the meeting with the name of our young group and today's date.

Thank you both for bringing the press and demonstrating its operation. That was fun. Also present again was a show-n-tell with books by Carrie and Peter and hand-colored prints by DJ.

Paper, polymer plates, ink, and the press. What more do you need?

While attendance was down from our first meeting, we hope that you will consider becoming involved and sharing your experiences with other like-minded folks. We welcome your suggestions and comments. Email links for Carrie and Peter in the sidebar at right.

  1. That looks like it would have been fun! We have a press like that at WNYBAC, but I have yet to try it out.
