Hello all! This weekend I am embarking on an exciting new endeavor with fellow book artists Katie Baldwin, Macy Chadwick, Denise Bookwalter and Tricia Treacy. Together we are Shift-lab. Our inaugural project [incode] launches this Saturday, January 4th at the College Book Art Association Conference in Utah and it is easy to participate! We will be using language from tweets marked with specific hashtags to create limited edition prints as well as a book documenting our project. Please join us from wherever you are by tweeting any of our selected hashtags between today and January 4th:
#printedword
#woodtype
#letterpress
#shiftlab
#cbaa
Tweet us some text and we will incorporate it into this project. Follow us on twitter @shiftlaborg and watch prints emerge from language as we live tweet our printing event on Saturday.
Thanks to Printeresting and Legion Paper for supporting this effort. Stay tuned for more news about this project and Happy New Year! (Look how excited we all are. Won’t you tweet for us?)
