I have been filing my "old" non-digital pictures and I found some good shots with memories of my tour to the Hatch Show Print in Nashville, TN in November 2006.
It was such a treat to be able to get inside the print shop and see so many cool prints, shelves loaded with type, and the presses being used. The staff at the shop was very welcoming, they let me crank the press, gave me tips on how to make lino-cut reduction prints, and the manager even bought breakfast for me! Definitely Southern hospitality.
I cherish these fun memories of my trip to Nashville. There I also had the opportunity to see, at the Nashville Public Library, a special collection of Artists Books by the Sobota family. That incredible show sparked my interest to pursue an apprenticeship in book binding at the Jan & Jarmila Sobota Book Arts Studio in Loket, Czech Republic in the summer of 2007.
