When printer-friends visited C.C. Stern Type Foundry and Craft Printing House in early September, we engaged in a fun last-minute project of making Weathergrams. Inspired by Lloyd Reynolds and his interpretation of the Japanese tansaku form, we set type for seasonal poetic notes and printed a small edition of 30. Tied to branches with string, these little Weathergrams were hung at the Autumnal Equinox and are doing their best to become soaked and tattered as the leaves themselves at the end of the season.
Notes about recent print projects and activities, as well as interesting bits related to archiving, art, printing and typecasting communities.
