Podcasts about letterpress

In this episode of Platemark, Ann sits down with Angelina Lippert, a poster historian and the curator and director of Poster House, to discuss the inception and growth of the first museum in the U.S. dedicated exclusively to the art and history of posters. They talk about what makes posters and fine art prints the same and different. And they discuss the challenges and processes of acquiring, preserving, and showcasing posters, the historical and cultural significance of early advertising posters, and the often-overlooked artistry involved in their creation.  Platemark website Sign-up for Platemark emails Leave a 5-star review Support the show Get your Platemark merch Check out Platemark on Instagram Join our Platemark group on Facebook Poster House website https://posterhouse.org/ Poster House IG @posterhousenyc   Poster House façade on 23rd Street.

On our Australian journey, we visited Doug and Danika in Albury, NSW, whose story graced the cover of our seventh edition of We Are Makers. Meeting them and their family was a highlight of our trip. Danika and Doug met while studying design at the College of Fine Arts in Sydney in 2005. Their passion for letterpress began in the UK, where they started collecting wood type blocks from charming markets. Back in Australia in 2011, they won a fierce eBay auction for a 1920s Chandler & Price letterpress named 'Wendy', previously housed in a soon-to-be-demolished hospital. With little experience but plenty of enthusiasm, they learned the art of letterpress from Des, a former printer and mentor who taught at a printing museum in Sydney. Des, who once taught letterpress through a rigorous five-year apprenticeship, generously shared his weekends to help them master the craft. WANT TO SUPPORT THIS PODCAST?

In s3e54, Platemark host Ann Shafer talks with Andrew Raftery, artist, professor, scholar, and wallpaper designer. Andrew works in several modes, most notably in engraving. The through line in the work is domesticity. An early print featured a young man suit shopping. Next was a portfolio of engravings detailing rooms during a real estate open house. Then engravings representing each month in the life of a garden were transferred to twelve dinnerplates and sold as a set. His latest show included watercolors depicting historical interior rooms that feature French and Chinese wallpapers. He also produces letterpress wallpapers himself.  Ann and Andrew talk about how engraving shows itself completely—there is no secret to how it is made, the inscrutability of Vermeer's paintings, the importance of understanding the history of prints, how the transfer process works with ceramic dinnerware, how French and Chinese wallpapers were made (some were hand painted!), and hatboxes. Images of Andrew's art are by Erik Gould; Andrew's headshot is by Ned Lochaya. Andrew is represented by Mary Ryan Gallery.  Andrew Raftery (American, born 1962). Human Resources, 1990s.

Kenzie and I go wayyy back to our teenage years and it's been so cool to watch her evolve as an entrepreneur, business owner, designer, wife, and mom! She talks about the tremendous blessing of having a supportive family that set her up for success and affirmed her from childhood to now in her 30s. We also discussed the self-motivation and self-discipline that being your own boss requires and how to be adaptable, especially with family dynamics changing and the roller coasters of busy seasons! Look up her work on Etsy and order some customized and textured letterpress stationary for business cards, wedding invitations, thank you cards, letterhead, or whatever you need that will inevitably stand out and make a big impression (pun intended

Navigating life's ups and downs by embracing creativity. In this episode Gaelle Jolly shares her journey from feeling unfulfilled in her job and struggling to find her place in a competitive sector, to discovering a passion for creativity that provided solace during difficult times.Despite previously not seeing herself as creative, Gaelle has found an outlet in hobbies including photography and calligraphy, which eventually turned into a small business. We talk about Gaelle's love for paper, stationery, words and the art of bookbinding, which led to the creation of her own line of notebooks and other paper products. She touches on the therapeutic aspect of her creative work, which became a source of meaning and escape as she faced an emotionally challenging future.We also discuss the balance between doing something for oneself and turning it into a business, and how she maintains the joy of creating while managing the pressures of entrepreneurship.Gaelle's experiences remind us that creativity can be a powerful tool for healing and self-discovery, no matter where life takes us."I think a lot of what I do actually does go back to childhood in some way, and it's about getting lost in an imaginary world."If you found value in this episode and would like to show your appreciation, consider supporting the podcast through the Support the Show link, or by sending a boostagram , for example in the Fountain app.Your contributions will help me continue to share inspiring stories of creativity and resilience.CreativityFound.co.ukInstagram: @creativityfoundpodcastFacebook: @creativityfoundpodcast and Creativity Found groupYouTube @creativityfoundpodcastPinterest: @creativityfoundTwitter: @creativityfounResearched, edited and produced by Claire Waite BrownMusic: Day Trips by Ketsa Undercover / Ketsa Creative Commons License Free Music Archive - Ketsa - Day TripsArtworks: Emily Portnoi emilyportnoi.co.ukPhoto: Ella PalletSupport the show hereTry the Fountain podcast listening app hereBuzzsprout podcast hosting Start for FREE Support the showSupport the show hereSubscribe to the Creativity Found mailing list hereJoin the Creativity Found Collective here

We are 23 days away from 2024 and with me today are two fantastic Toronto-based makers with calendars for us to enjoy all 366 days of the year ahead. In this episode, you'll hear from Phoebe Todd-Parrish and Ana Rita Morais about their calendar projects, yes, but the conversation is so much more than that. You'll better understand Ana Rita and Phoebe's unique creative processes and sources of inspiration, when they know when they've reached the finish line in their creative work, and you'll hear really great advice for creatives who look back on their old work with dread (aka most everyone). Links to six other incredible calendar projects can be found in the show notes at talkpaperscissors.info. I'm all about interesting projects with interesting people!

This is the fourth of 6 episodes where you'll hear from movers and shakers in the printing, typography and design spaces who make space for others through their creation of national and global communities. In this episode, we have living print legend, Amos Paul Kennedy Jr.! Amos Paul Kennedy Jr. is an American printer, book artist and papermaker who has been puttin' ink on paper since 1949. You'll hear how Amos describes himself and his work, his entry point into printing and his counter-cultural (wise!) advice of setting low-expectations. You'll also hear Amos' experimental approach to making multiples, the way in which his signature printing process was born, and how systemic injustices can negatively impact creative living and making. Finally, you'll hear about Amos' labour-of-love community printing space in Detroit, Michigan: The Pile of Bricks.I'm all about interesting projects with interesting people!

Summer Solstice Greetings Glocal Citizens! I'm fresh off of a couple of weeks of ramping up the summer in Europe where the sun was truly a superstar right alongside my guest for the next few episodes. James Barnor is a Ghanaian (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghana) photographer who has been based in London since the 1990s. His career spans six decades, and although for much of that period his work was not widely known, it has latterly been discovered by new audiences. In his street (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Street_photography) and studio photography (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Studio_photography), Barnor represents societies in transition in the 1950s and 1960s: Ghana moving toward independence (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Ghana#Independent_Ghana), and London becoming a multicultural metropolis. He has said: "I was lucky to be alive when things were happening...when Ghana was going to be independent and Ghana became independent, and when I came to England the Beatles (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Beatles) were around. Things were happening in the 60s, so I call myself Lucky Jim." He was Ghana's first full-time newspaper photographer in the 1950s, and he is credited with introducing color processing (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colour_photography) to Ghana in the 1970s. It has been said: "James Barnor is to Ghana and photojournalism what Ousmane Sembène (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ousmane_Semb%C3%A8ne) was to Senegal (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Senegal) and African cinema." Barnor has spoken of how his work was rediscovered in 2007 during the "Ghana at 50" jubilee season by curator Nana Oforiatta-Ayim (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nana_Oforiatta-Ayim), who organized the first exhibition of his photographs at Black Cultural Archives (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Cultural_Archives) (BCA). Appreciation of his work as a studio portraitist, photojournalist (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photojournalism) and Black lifestyle photographer has been further heightened since 2010 when a major solo retrospective exhibition of his photographs, Ever Young: James Barnor, was mounted at Rivington Place (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rivington_Place), London, followed by a series of exhibitions including in the United States and South Africa (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_Africa). His photographs were collated by the non-profit agency Autograph ABP (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autograph_ABP) during a four-year project funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heritage_Lottery_Fund) and in 2011 became part of the new Archive and Research Centre for Culturally Diverse Photography. Barnor's photographs have also in recent years had showings in Ghana, South Africa, France - (Paris Photo (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paris_Photo) 2011, Galerie Baudoin Lebon; Galerie Clémentine de la Féronnière), The Netherlands (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Netherlands), the UK and the US. The first monograph of his work, entitled James Barnor: Ever Young, was published in 2015, including an extensive conversation between Barnor and Margaret Busby (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Margaret_Busby) with Francis Hodgson. I'm honored to be able to share his story--the history, the craft, the artistry and the humor of Uncle Jim. Where to find James?

While the stock image of the anarchist as a masked bomber or brick thrower prevails in the public eye, a more representative figure should be a printer at a printing press. In Letterpress Revolution: The Politics of Anarchist Print Culture (Duke UP, 2023), Kathy E. Ferguson explores the importance of printers, whose materials galvanized anarchist movements across the United States and Great Britain from the late nineteenth century to the 1940s. Ferguson shows how printers—whether working at presses in homes, offices, or community centers—arranged text, ink, images, graphic markers, and blank space within the architecture of the page. Printers' extensive correspondence with fellow anarchists and the radical ideas they published created dynamic and entangled networks that brought the decentralized anarchist movements together. Printers and presses did more than report on the movement; they were constitutive of it, and their vitality in anarchist communities helps explain anarchism's remarkable persistence in the face of continuous harassment, arrest, assault, deportation, and exile. By inquiring into the political, material, and aesthetic practices of anarchist print culture, Ferguson points to possible methods for cultivating contemporary political resistance. Jen Hoyer is Technical Services and Electronic Resources Librarian at CUNY New York City College of Technology and a volunteer at Interference Archive. Jen edits for Partnership Journal and organizes with the TPS Collective. She is co-author of What Primary Sources Teach: Lessons for Every Classroom and The Social Movement Archive.

While the stock image of the anarchist as a masked bomber or brick thrower prevails in the public eye, a more representative figure should be a printer at a printing press. In Letterpress Revolution: The Politics of Anarchist Print Culture (Duke UP, 2023), Kathy E. Ferguson explores the importance of printers, whose materials galvanized anarchist movements across the United States and Great Britain from the late nineteenth century to the 1940s. Ferguson shows how printers—whether working at presses in homes, offices, or community centers—arranged text, ink, images, graphic markers, and blank space within the architecture of the page. Printers' extensive correspondence with fellow anarchists and the radical ideas they published created dynamic and entangled networks that brought the decentralized anarchist movements together.

Digital printing (aka flat printing) is the print results from ink jet, laser or even offset printing. And even though these modern methods are what pushed letterpress off the mainstream market, they still make great companions for our pressed designs. In this episode, we discuss different ways to mix the old with the new while designing, how this can leverage your budget and even expand upon the artistic capabilities. We also cover the process for those of us who print in house and those of us who outsource! We hope you enjoy this episode and we would love to see what you've been printing with both digital and letterpress! Come on over to instagram (@hotoffthepresspod) and share!

“It really is a case of a rising tide lifts all boats. Other artists doing well makes the markets we're at better, which brings more people, which means we do better. So it's definitely something where the incredible community allows us to do what we do.” On the podcast this week, Emily chats with Tammy and Adam Winn, owners of Red Door Press. Red Door Press is a letterpress print shop specializing in hand-printed cards, broadsides, social stationery, gig and event posters, corporate branding, workshops and much more.In 2008 Tammy went through a career change and was in search of a creative outlet as a result. After taking a class at the Des Moines Art Center, she ended up finding and purchasing an old printing press that was about to be thrown away. Her desire for creativity combined with the idea that she could help preserve this technique drove this decision despite the fact that she had no idea how to restore or use the press. The 1,500 lb printing press moved into her garage and was the piece of equipment that ultimately started the journey to starting a business.In support of his wife's passion, Adam leaned in to support rather than resist the takeover of the garage. Together they began to learn from an older generation of printers who were gracious enough to share the history, techniques, equipment, type, and much wisdom. They attended their first market with little experience and that led to being invited to another, which led to another, and they soon were included in a lot of indie craft markets throughout the community. Over the years participation has grown and in 2019 they attended 75 different events; all the while both are employed full time outside of the print shop.This is one of the very things that make Tammy and Adam, and their business, unique. Having their full time jobs allows them to not worry about their basic cost of living, allowing them to create simply because they want to rather than because they have to. This has expanded their freedom and creativity in intentionally making things that they feel are one of a kind, valuable, spread an important message, and are desired by their customers...the stuff you can't just find in any home decor store.  Don't miss this fascinating episode as Tammy and Adam dive into what starting a business in a “supposedly” dead industry entails, how they give back and share with the next generation of printers, and their hopes for the future of Red Door Press.Tune in for topics like:What letterpress printing actually meansHow having foresight into business purchases is importantWhy knowing your strengths and those of your business partner is important for teamwork The importance of supporting the community around youLinks from the episode:Visit the Red Door Press website to view their prints and learn moreFollow Red Door Press on instagram for new designs and behind the scenes at the shopFree Training – Sign up + learn how to generate consistent sales for your local business WITHOUT a complicated or expensive marketing strategyFollow me (Emily Steele) (Love Local) on Instagram for a little business + a little life, and a whole lot of positive energy!
