Kenyon College

The 'smell of ink' is the response you are likely to get if you ask a printer their initial attraction to the process. This was certainly true in my case to the extent that after discovering printmaking the first year of art at Kenyon College I found this little used letterpress studio in the basement of Pierce Hall. I soon became the Director and went on to found two other letterpresses: The Hopewell Printer and the Highland Press. Several years later I gave up the letterpress to focus on fine art printmaking.
