Kerrytown Bookfest 2013

The 11th Annual Kerrytown Bookfest of Ann Arbor was held on September 8 and the Michigan Letterpress Guild was there to share the letterpress love.

Phil Driscoll and Arie Koelewyn working the crowd.

Arie Koelewyn set the type and printed a bookmark for people to then complete with a sweet pink sheep on his Golding press while Phil Driscoll engaged visitors with information of the basics of letterpress printing using and showing some of the tools used.

Jim Horton printed a two color cover for a booklet of children's poetry which was then bound by volunteers and given gratis to Bookfest attendees.

In the background is Amos Kennedy helping people to print a postcard of his own design.

Rumor has it that Jim Horton will be hosting the next Michigan Letterpress Guild meeting at boundedition so keep a look out in your mail box (the real one, not the virtual one) and the information will be here as well.
