2013 Brayer and Bodkin

At long last, here are the scans of the 2013 Brayer and Bodkin. As with all scans, they don't really do justice to the fine letterpress printing of our members but it is still an opportunity to enjoy their creativity. (Click on the image to see it larger or to embiggen it, for The Simpsons fans.) Enjoy!

Brayer & Bodkin 2011

Every year members print a page (sometimes more) for the annual Brayer & Bodkin. The pages are then collated and bound by the members at the December get-together. The following are the pages from the 2011 Brayer & Bodkin. (These are simple scans and don't do justice to the work but please enjoy the creativity of the members.)

ABOUT US

We are Michigan printing enthusiasts who are interested in the art and craft of letterpress printing. With Pilots and Heidelbergs, Linotypes and Ludlows, metal and wood type (with some interesting alternatives although, as of yet, no one has 'fessed up to polymer plates), we enjoy putting ink to paper and sharing our knowledge and discoveries. Membership is open to all and there are no fees. We meet approximately quarterly at members' homes. If you would like to join us or find out more information, send an email to Arie at: koelewyn (at) msu (dot) edu.
