Printing Demonstration

Tuesday, November 7, 2017 - 4:00pm
Clapp Library Lobby

During the Reformation, the medium of printing was utilized to great effect to circulate ideas and effect change. In conjunction with Martin Luther: Protest in Print, join Katherine M. Ruffin, Director of Book Studies and the Book Arts Program, for a demonstration of letterpress printing techniques, including the hand composition of metal type and printing on the iron hand press. A woodcut image will be printed along with type. Meet in the lobby of Clapp Library. The demonstration will take place in the Book Arts Lab.
