TYPE HIGH DAY
(Also known as Letterpress Appreciation Day 15th Annual Open House)

Friday September 18
Noon to 5 PM
In-House at the Jaffe Center for Book Arts Printshop
Library Third Floor East, Suite 350

COME PRINT!

During our open house come make a free souvenir print that we've designed especially for the occasion. You'll be printing either on one of our vintage 1940s Vandercook Proof Presses and YOU will be the printer. You'll print a broadside (a poster, basically) set by hand from JCBA's collection of historic wood and metal types while we give you a brief introductory immersion into the fascinating and venerable craft of printing. The print is yours to keep and printing it will teach you the difference between clicking PRINT and actually PRINTING.

RECORD GIVEAWAY

Our friends at Florida Atlantic Libraries' Recorded Sound Archive will be here, too, with a record giveaway. If you've got a Victrola: Free records! We'd love to see you. It's FREE! Bring your friends.
