"Produced by Helen Hiebert in 2010"--Colophon. Title from box. Limited ed. of 25 copies, signed by the artist. Colophon on accompanying folded sheet ([4] p.).

"A book in the form of a unique lantern structure Helen Hiebert developed for her book, Paper Illuminated. Each panel of the shadow lantern features an alphabet letter cutout that casts a shadow onto a second layer of paper. The letters are in the Arts and Crafts style font designed by Dard Hunter, often referred to as the father of hand papermaking in 20th century America.

Composed of lightweight wood and paper panels in an accordion book structure, with a flexible [Japanese] hinge that allows it to be set up in a variety of ways. Each shadow lantern is stored in an architectural handcrafted box designed and produced by Claudia Cohen.

The colophon is letterpress printed by Diane Jacobs of Scantron Press"--23 Sandy Gallery Website, viewed 27 April 2011. Materials: artist-made cotton paper, machine-made gampi paper and balsa wood. Opens out to 297 cm. long.

The Country Music Hall of Fame was a lot of fun -- actually more than I expected it to be, and I say that as someone who actually enjoys the bulk of country music. The museum is very well-designed and has a nice variety of exhibits. But the real hidden gem is the Hatch Show Print tour, which is an add-on tour with the Hall of Fame.

Hatch Show Print was a small print shop in Nashville that started out doing ads and handbills and ended up doing the poster art for a ton of artists who came through Nashville particularly in the early 20th century. Their style is what I think of as Great Depression Googie, very simple and retro, and I love it. And the tour itself is awesome, it's basically a little printmaking class with a history lesson thrown in. Hugely good time, do recommend.

[ID: two photos; the first is of the Hatch Show Print gift shop, which is crammed with posters announcing things like "Free Beer (tomorrow)" and "Y'all Means All". There are also several hand operated antique letterpress machines. The second photo is a close up of a machine in the "classroom" where they tell you about the history of the shop and let you do a print of your own; it has a sign on it reading "I am the oldest press in the shop". Not mentioned is that it was made in Chicago and I was oddly proud of that.]

[video description: process recording of letterpress printing a set of patterned tiles in a clamshell-action press, in a range of colors pulled from many pride flags. In the clamshell press, the machine opens on a hinge, with the relief printing material on one half the the paper held in place on the other half. Every time the press opens a printed sheet is removed and a fresh one is placed into the registration pins by hand; when it closes, the relief material contacts the paper and presses the ink into the surface. end description.]

happy priiiiide 🎉🎉

The Weeds Grow Anyway Update

June 13, 2024

Last night I printed some test prints of the cover's two lino layers to make sure they registered together correctly. Then this morning I went into Ladyfingers Letterpress to print the first layer on their risograph machine (so grateful to them 🥹), which will will provide the color for the moon, the title, the dandelion, and accents on the dandelion leaves.

I was a little nervous because I'm unfamiliar with risograph and the drying time for the ink, but I'm pleased to find that it has almost dried completely, so we should be ready to print the green/grass layer tomorrow on the Vandercook press at The Press at Colorado College (also so grateful to them! I've been printing this book through a residency provided by the press). I need to clean up the lino a little bit tonight, but until then, I'm going to take a little time to get outside and go swimming.

It's been a challenging week between all the carving and test printing. Tiger balm is my best friend. And printing the many copies on the press tomorrow might be tough, but I know I can do it! 💪 It's been so exciting to see it come together, and I'm really pleased with how it's going!

If you want your own copy, you can preorder one on my website!

Straw Hats crew's preferred Printmaking Mediums

Summary: literally such a self-indulgent thing where I assign everyone a printmaking medium bc I love printmaking + the straw hats

Luffy: Cyanotypes. Doesn't need much diligence, and he finds it fun to collect strange objects or cool elements of nature from different islands to make prints with them. Tried to make a silhouette of meat once by holding it over the cyanotype, but ended up eating it, so it became a print of a bone picked clean.

Zoro: Stone lithography. Means he can use his muscle power carrying the stones and using the big heavy rollers. He can also rely on the natural beauty of wet on wet ink and stuff for nice looking prints since he can't draw well

Nami: Risograph. She likes the colors and the slightly technical side involved with the machine. Easy to mass produce posters and zines. 

Ussop: Photography. Likes to photograph nature, different buildings, and sometimes his crewmates. The photo development process is also very fun for him. Sometimes uses Nami’s risograph machine to make colored photos (at a price)

Sanji: Letterpress. With a little diligence he learns to appreciate the art of different fonts and precision involved in the letter work. Treats each print like a dish that must be prepared perfectly. 

Chopper: Silkscreen. Also enjoys the colors, and in love with the way layers of ink interact with each other on one surface. Prints t-shirts for everyone in the crew that each has a unique monotype drawing. It’s very endearing.

Robin: Intaglio. Likes how it requires a bit of knowledge about chemicals and markmaking techniques in order to make a fantastic, aesthetically pleasing print. Can get very fine details which is perfect for someone who likes to get “hands on”. With time, she learns to make very good etchings of flowers and such, but actually prefers simple and cute imagery (like what Chopper makes)

Franky: Woodcut relief. Actually so good at this you have no idea. He makes the most beautiful arabesque imagery that would usually decorate the sides of fancy stairwells and ballrooms. 

Brook: Linoleum relief. The rubber is flexible and easy to carve into... unlike the bony hands he uses the tools with! It’s a very different art from music, but he finds some enjoyment in it as he can carve illustrations of whatever his heart desires (panties) 

Jinbe: Water transfer printing. Requires him to use a more gentle and exact approach to working with water than the techniques he uses to fight, so he enjoys the variation. Gets a hobby of giving all the removable parts of the ship a new colorful coat, making the Sunny look a little clownish from a design point but Luffy likes it so he orders Franky not to touch it.

Easter is coming and if you really can't decide on a gift, how about one of our gift cards? Made from a 800 g/m² craft paper by using a letterpress machine from the 1950s. This turns even a simple gift card into a haptic and visual experience. #giftideas #gifts #giftcards #peterfieldsshop #holidays #eastertime #easterweekend #inspiration #homegoods #menswear #worldwideshipping 📦🐰 https://www.instagram.com/p/CqQI7zfo4kP/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Project - Food for Thought

In this project I experimented with different printing processes such as letterpress (manual and machine), screen printing and mono-printing to explore the collision of food and art. The final product is presented to the audience in the form of an illustrated book. I had fun experimenting with typography, font choice, colour and food printing.
