non-commercial media

"If nothing else, these Zine kids are making their own magazines, their own music and their own culture. And that, in and of itself, is something worth fighting for." Microcosm

teaching football players calligraphy

Glen Epstein teaches students how to write by hand, that is write without a keyboard. Calligraphy is actually not a new method of networked communication but it is expressive and useful. Many students today have never tried it and many have never properly touched a pen to paper.

homestead print shop and bindery

Faithful Bethany ran the Linotype today as every Saturday showing visitors from everywhere how letterpress printing was accomplished by the colonists of the Amanas. The shop is filled with flies, the heat from the pot and from the blacksmith mingles with the coal smoke and with the smell of the goat yard. Yes, this is what mass media once was.

UICB Historical printing

mcba/sharp/ibw workshop

Iowa Book Works will entertain SHARP book studies instructors this Tuesday at Minnesota Center for Book Arts.

"Participants in this workshop will learn about 10 historical bookbinding structures, from Antiquity to the present. Tips for structural identification and description of bookbindings will be discussed. Participants will produce an Ethiopian codex in a Mahdar. This amulet codex is perfect for SHARP conference notes."

Discussing book binding history with book studies instructors will be simple, but not discussion of the overwhelming bright prospects of the future of the book.
