Spudnik Press

Spudnik Press Cooperative is thrilled to announce the 9th annual Printers’ Ball: Trip & Return.

The theme for 2013 is “Trip & Return.” A letterpress printing term, it’s also a playful acknowledgement of the return to discussion of the craft. This daytime event will host letterpress and screen printing demonstrations, discussions by well-known print and poster makers, readings from local poets, and performances from Elastic Arts Foundation musicians throughout the many art and design spaces within the spacious building. Local food trucks and beverage vendors will also be on hand. As is tradition, magazines, literary organizations, and design studios—over 400—from across the country will provide complimentary magazines and ephemera to all attendees of this free event.

Please join us for Spudnik's next Member Meeting! There are two exciting events on the horizon: Printers Ball, Spudnik's Rummage Sale & Birthday BBQ. We're excited to fill you in and begin a roster of volunteers excited to join the festivities. This meeting will be potluck style; please bring a dish or snack to share.... Read more »
