The Winter 2008 issue of Ampersand (the book arts journal I edit) is just out. In this issue, Sarah Whorf, who teaches printmaking at Humbolt State here in California, has written up a nifty method for printing on a modified credit card imprinter. The prints are tiny — just 2″x3″ — but it’s a great platform for learning printmaking. Marsha Shaw, a student of Sarah’s, teaches printmaking to both children and adults using these modified “knucklebusters.” She’s teaching a class for teachers at SFCB in June as part of their 2008 Summer Bookbinding Institute for K-8 Teachers and another for adults in July.
Well this is interesting! Great use for those old relics!
I am totally enchanted with this process. Points to you and Sarah for sharing the building instructions in the latest issue of the Ampersand.
What a great idea. Now I want a knucklebuster! Thanks for the idea.
