Lead Graffiti’s Ray Nicholas and Jill Cypher have invited The .918 Club members to a special H.N. Werkman Creative letterpress workshop. You’ll be printing in the steps of H.N. Werkman, a WWII Dutch designer, and publisher who used an unusual approach to making letterpress prints, which he dubbed “druksels”, a play off the Dutch word “to print.”

Normally the workshop registration fee is $70 but for club members and spouses it will be $25. The workshop will be held on Saturday, October 20th beginning at noon with lunch at the Lead Graffiti studio. The actual workshop will run from 1 to 5pm.

Book Arts Center & Letterpress Studio Renovation

Every Tuesday, 9am – 3pm

Thaddeus Stevens has given us a building on campus to use as a letterpress studio. The old Naval Reserve building on Parkside Avenue built during the Korean War has no insulation or lighting and the windows are metal framed single pane. The renovations to the building will include a HVAC system, energy efficient replacement windows, wall insulation, wall treatment and lighting. JK Mechanical of Willow Street has donated and installed a high efficiency Carrier gas fired furnace and air conditioning system. No internal structural changes will be needed since an open floor plan is most desirable for the center. Your help is needed as we as we prepare this building for our club to use as a training facility as well as offering open shop time for qualified members. Presently help is needed in cleaning the leftovers out of the buiulding.
