ART 135 SC: Typography & Book Arts

Working in collaboration, students create a limited-edition, letterpress-printed artist’s book under the Scripps College Press imprint. Through local field trips, library visits and archival research on the fruit trees and plantings on Scripps College campus, regional environmental changes and conservation, students develop original texts, generate imagery, hand set metal and wooden type, hand print on antique presses, and hand-bind an edition of approximately 100 copies of an original student-produced artist book. Fee: $75. Instructor: Blassingame, Tia. [Elective]
