Armina Ghazaryan’s Wood Type Prints

I keep a small pool of photos on Flickr and I found the photo to the left when looking through some of the groups I belong to. It’s a print by Armina Ghazaryan, a graphic designer living in Gent, Belgium. She made the print from wood type at MIAT, the Museum of Industrial Archaeology and Textile in Gent. (They call themselves “a unique museum that focuses mainly on the fundamental technological changes in our society during the last 250 years.”) But even better are her blog posts about a workshop she took at MIAT last summer. The pictures are great — of the wonderful typographic work of the participants, of old presses, of locked up type. And be sure to scroll down for a look at the photos of a chasse full of lego blocks, all locked up and ready to print.
