Open Studio Print Event: A Design for Rare Book School by Erica Honson

Come print a broadside outlining the real history of movable type, designed and typeset by our studio coordinator Erica Honson (hint: it isn't all about Gutenberg).

Open Studio Event: Regardless of experience, we invite you to come practice some letterpress-printing. Please email jesspe@upenn.edu if you'd like to attend and are not a Penn Card holder.
