what I did in Iowa #1
Printer's Hall in Mt. Pleasant, Iowa, is part of a historical complex that includes steam threshers, steam engines, railroad, carousel, and lots of letterpress printing stuff. Because this is a working museum, everything works. Everything! And people are encouraged to learn how to use it all and then use it. Below is some of what I printed, just for the fun of it.

Letterpress Things
What you see when you first walk into Letterpress Things in Chicopee, Massachusetts. It's a wonderful place to go get anything for letterpress printing. I make a pilgrimage there a few times a year, and John Barrett, the owner and extraordinary type guy, is always welcoming.

The wood blocks from which we printed. These are all from Hatch Print Show's print shop. Some are almost 100 years old.

letterpress
My 5 x 8 Kelsey Platen Press.
The second side of the alphabet coasters. Yes, there was no 30 point "W," and next time, the crow will go on the other side of the card so it will be pointed inward.

linoleum cut
The Letter X. And the experiment printing linoleum block on a platen press. The result: not bad. This is an edition of 200.

the minutiae of art
Cleaning and organizing type. I have much type that needs to be dusted and arranged in new drawers. This is slow and methodical work, and very rewarding, ultimately. Now I know where all the letters are.
