Poster presentation: Investigating letterpress as a contemporary process within book arts practice

Butler, Angie

Abstract

I am interested in examining how we learn to design and create artists’ books through letterpress; to gain an understanding of how contemporary book artists using letterpress have influenced what is produced in the field, and how this relates back in to studio and private press practice.

Selected letterpress/book artist practitioners will be investigated through interviews and collaborative print projects. These will be used as critical case studies studying a variety of practical and conceptual approaches in order to ascertain best practice methods for contemporary letterpress artists’ books production and educational instruction.
