I finally got to do something that's been on my Bay Area hit list since we moved. I think you know of my obsession with all things paper. Well, in San Francisco there exists this wonderful paper community that has turned into a full blown million dollar business. And in the midst of that world there is a shop that is devoted to teaching anyone who wants to learn about all things book.
For a nominal fee they offer workshops ranging from bookbinding to calligraphy to letterpress. Last night I attended the latter and spent three hours immersed in the world of printing.
We all picked a font and font size to work with. They had quite the selection, including Japanese dingbats!
On my way home it rained and lighting flashed across the sky.
A perfect end to a perfect night.
P.S. Two talented people I know who design, create, and print letterpress! Dear Lola and Micky Matsu!
