Description
Although the commercial use of wood type declined—and then largely disappeared—in the 20th century with the advent of photographic printing processes, today it is enjoying a resurgence among book artists and fine press printers. In 2019, the letterpress printer and artist Amos Kennedy offered a printing workshop at RBS as part of the School’s “Making & Teaching: Printing Technologies at Work” Presswork Symposium. Kennedy produced this poster using RBS’s Annenberg wood type and delivered a lecture that discussed his community-based approach to printing.
