WordPlay!

Come join us for the First Friday opening of WordPlay, this Friday at 7pm at Gallery5, in Richmond!

goodgood curated the traveling exhibition, WordPlay, which explores the human fascination of language on the printed page. This diverse collection of artists, craftspeople and designers spans the globe—from India to the UK and throughout the US—including internationally recognized artists Ken Campbell and Ed Fella. Locally, the work of David Freed and VCU's Bowe House Press illustrates and illuminates the written word. From the experimental and unconventional to traditional methods of letterpress and bookmaking, the artists in this exhibition playfully and poetically mark the page with words that both provoke and evoke.

visit to Third & Elm Press in Newport, RI

Last weekend, as part of the Book Beautiful conference, we visited the Third and Elm Press down. This press was founded 45 years ago, in 1965, by Alexander and Ilse Buchert Nesbitt, and it is a wonderful little corner in Newport.

Ilse runs the press now—her husband passed away 15 years ago—and she walked us through her process—from paper-making, to woodcutting, to printing. It was a delightful little place, and a pleasure to spend time with Ilse. If you're ever in Newport, I would highly recommend making a visit.
