Our host this year is the Book Art Program at the J. Willard Marriott Library. Since 1995, the Book Arts Program champions wide-ranging explorations of the book in our interdisciplinary makers’ space for active learners from the campus, local, national, and international communities. The Book Arts Studio is also home to the Red Butte Press where two handpresses and a large collection of foundry and rare metal type reside. These two presses, the 1846 Columbian Handpress and 1882 Albion Handpress, were donated by Dorothy and Lewis Allen in 1984 and became the foundation of what would later become the Book Arts Program & Red Butte Press.
Co-produced by the Ladies of Letterpress, Central Print in St. Louis, MO, and the Book Arts Program.
