The Grolier Club Presents
Purgatory Pie Press Virtual Studio Tour
Zoom | Saturday, April 3rd, 2021 | 2:30-3:30pm ESTReserve a Spot on the Waiting List
Esther K Smith and Dikko Faust will demonstrate vintage equipment that can print in relief on non-paper substrates such as upcycled clothing, give glimpses of their voluminous archive, and reflect on the art form’s evolution. They will open cabinets of wonders, including the photo-engravings for advertisements dating back 130 years, Hebrew wood type from a long-shuttered Yiddish poster printer, and an entire drawer of ampersands.
This will be a live online event, via Zoom, and all attendees will receive an email with the Zoom link the day of the event. If you've not received a link by 9:00 am Eastern time, please check your spam folder.
For those unable to join us for the session, the lecture will be recorded and made available a few weeks after the event on the Grolier Club's Vimeo page: https://vimeo.com/user4535612.

“What is American culture today, and what does an American look like?”
They ask the viewer to consider the question with them starting through the eyes of the artists in this exhibition, leading to self reflection upon exiting the space.

A class for all levels.
Letterpress is versatile, adaptable, and mixes easily with other printmaking processes. Through hand typesetting vintage metal and wood typefaces, students will gain a broader understanding of typography. Printing blocks and plates range from completely manual, hand-cut and collaged, to digital photopolymer plates. Accurate color registration is simple and easy. The image can range from hard edge to feathered and painterly, and the relief impression adds a third dimension. Operation and maintenance of different kinds of letterpress is included. Sessions begin with a demonstration followed by studio time to work on projects that range from type-based graphic designs to fine art limited editions.
No experience required.
Happy Type High Day -- 9/18
