Interested in Having a Letterpress Design Made?
While Huskiana Letterpress Studio has been closed during the pandemic, they have continued to forge ahead on the Letterpress Goes 3D (LG3D) project, which looks to reverse-engineer historical woodcuts and metalcuts for educational and creative use in the Huskiana Letterpress Studio. Looking ahead to the future when the press reopens for class and individual visits, the Studio is now seeking designs that instructors and researchers would be interested in having laser cut. These designs might be used in courses, research, or creative projects with potential for wider usage. They might be historical or contemporary.
Please email Kenny Oravetz, Assistant Director of Huskiana Press, to participate in LG3D. |
