Hi everyone, sorry I've been out of touch...I'm a neophyte "blogger" too! (does that make you feel better, John?) Also, have been very busy setting up our new Letterpress / Book Arts program at the Corcoran all summer. We were lucky to bid on (and purchase!) Los Angeles' oldest print shop at an incredible price which included a Uni 1 along with tons of type, Hamilton cases, and miscellaneous items that would have taken an incredibly long time to accumulate. It arrived two weeks ago, and we really have our work cut out for us cleaning up dusty old type drawers! Any ideas would be greatly appreciated...

We also purchased 2 4-T's, and found a "treasure" of old wood type in Richmond which arrived as well. Right now, we have an etching studio PACKED with letterpress equipment waiting for the completion of the studio that it will be moved into. It will be a very busy August I'm sure.

Also went down to Knoxville for a family wedding and visited Kevin and Julie at Yee Haw Industries, and Kevin had lots of nice things to say about you John, when I mentioned our workshop at Penland.

Now I'm heading to Haystack School in Maine on Deer Isle, to teach a two week papermaking / printmaking workshop from July 19-31. Anyone up that way, come visit!! Georgia
