Anyone who thinks we get through this period in our history without extreme levels of violence is gravely naive.

Aaaand I finished a 41-page #zine on doing your 1st typesetting, makeready, & printing on a Vandercook Universal press. 120 total pages across 3 full-size zines & 1 minizine = a new "Letterpress for All!" series (so I "got" to pick a new zine-format bread: these are Zine Bakery "brioches" 🍞). +
Screenshot of the Canva design app in page grid view, showing a zoomed-out view of 44 pages of zine. You can see they have a lot of text in them, and also a lot of colorful images.

Finished drafting text for "Vandercookin' for All Types & Sorts" zine teaching intro letterpress typesetting+printing, so my reward=updating cover design. Part of a series for upcoming Feminist Media Histories special issue. Numbering them Zine Bakery Brioche #1 etc. bc no one can stop the 🍞 theming
Screenshot of a digital design for a zine cover, in light orange and medium orange with some teal, silver grey, and purple-orange gradient accents. The cover says "Vandercookin': Letterpress for All Types & Sorts: An intro to typesetting, makeready, & printing ' Amand Wyatt Visconti / Letterpress for All! Brioche #1". The Vandercook printing press logo (a black and white world globe ringed by a "Vandercook" banner) has been inserted into a frying pan, which is held by an antique-looking manicule/pointing hand image. A similar one holds a spatula that is dumping multiple lead-type letter Ms on a Vandercooking printing press, which has been adorned with flames like a grill, and has some printed text popping out the end circled by a purple to orange gradient border.

Indeed.
Only a real revolution (like our foundational one), can save us from what’s coming. There will be no party or politician up to the task.
It’s on us either way, folks.

Stickers for ☀️: "Pica Princess" for the C&P Pilot press we're refurbing. "Too Much Makeready" for when work after typesetting+before achieving a good letterpress print takes hours. "I love symposia 👀" from @jeremyboggs.net bc even though the word can mean great events it always feels a bit odd to me
Photo of a sparkly light pink snd holographic silver laptop sticker thst says "Pica Princess" and a stack of orange, yellow, hot pink, and black embroidered patches that say "Too Much Makeready" Photo of a laptop sticker showing the Futurama character Fry with wide eyes and a slack jaw, over the text "I love symposia"

Over 10hrs @ letterpress printshop today+my feet hurt (can't sit while typesetting/makeready/printing). Progress on 3 prints: Tamora Pierce quote for a colleague; medieval dog names; 1st of multipass print troubling "libraries are for everyone". +a local studio offered to sell my prints?! #DHmakes
Photo, digitally horizontally reflected for readability, of letterpress wood and shiny metal type that says a quote from YA fantasy author Tamora Pierce: "Without reading, we are all without light in the dark, without fire in the cold" Closeup photo of part of a marked-up letterpress test print, showing an excited bounding dog under the text "This saieth, 'I wol a dog'". The text "A Dog" is also visible (part of the print's "I want a dog" line). Photo of a letterpress press bed where the text "Libraries are for everyone" is written in wood type held in place with wood pieces and colorful magnets, and a 7" tall wood letterpress X is being held up for the camera

Meanwhile looking at this title page, head slightly cocked to the side, wondering what the heck went wrong during makeready…
The title page of a 1660 book of natural philosophy. The lines of type are… exceedingly wonky.

Today's #DHmakes was more typesetting, & makeready+printing some of the historical letterpress cuts I've collected, so I can make a website+zine of them all:
Photo of a letterpress printing bed, where multiple letterpress cuts (illustrations instead of type) are fit together amid pieces of wood. A bright red ink is on most of them, and a rag that has started wiping off the ink sits on one cut. Photo of a letterpress cut (illustration instead of type) is fit in amid pieces of wood. A bright red ink is on the cut. You can see it's a drawing of two dogs sniffing each other's butts, with text saying "let's get acquainted" Photo of a letterpress cut (illustration instead of type) is fit in amid pieces of wood. A bright red ink is on the cut. You can see it's a drawing of a cartoonishly angry looking man whose hair is standing on end

+Challenge=many dingbats, all slightly different heights, much more than when just printing 1-2 typefaces; getting all showing up not too much/little=press bed height change, extra paper under print paper, but mostly many tiny bits of paper stuck under metal bits (sorts) which risks skewing whole
Photo from doing the "makeready" (getting your typeset form to actually all print right) described in the post, showing a metal Vandercook press bed strewn with cut up papers, scissors, metal strips, a wood block, tweezers, and other bits
