The what now? The Wayzgoose! Only the most important letterpress printing event of the year, duh.
If you are a letterpress printer, printmaker, graphic Designer, historian, tech geek, type geek, letterpress printer n00b or just curious about steam power, you NEED to be at the Old Thrasher’s Museum in Mt. Pleasant, Iowa September 17 – 19, 2009.
The Amalgamated Printer’s Association will hold its annual Wayzgoose event where you’ll meet other members, participate in demonstrations, work on your own prints, play with machines like a Heidelberg Windmill, an iron hand press (Like Gutenberg used!), a steam powered Babcock press, Linotypes, Ludlows, and bears OH MY!
Then, Saturday is a big old Swap Meet and Auction! Come get a new hand press to play with, buy type, supplies and all manner if nifty things you didn’t know your letterpress shop needed but you MUST have. I’ll be there selling as well! I’ve got lots of treasures, but I’m not telling you about them, its a surprise.
So get your lazy can off the computer and start planning your September events calendar!

Wouldn’t it be fun to do a grand tour of all of the Wayzgoose events? This one sounds like so much fun!
I went to the one in Seattle at the School of Visual Concepts yesterday. Theirs features printing of giant linoleum carved posters, with a steamroller! I posted a bunch of pictures to my blog, http://wp.me/pv670-jH.
Great blog, BTW. I’ve bookmarked it for return!
