The Carnegie Mellon School of Design will present a lecture and two-day workshop on book arts. The workshop will introduce students to letterpress printing, printmaking and innovative binding techniques. Two highly respected book artists, Harry and Sandra Reese, will lead participants in the creation of a books arts project based on a poem by Jim Daniels head of Carnegie Mellon's Creative Writing Department.

As publishers of poetry, prints and artist books, Harry and Sandra Reese set type by hand, print with hand presses, and produce art projects that feature their own papermaking. Their work integrates traditional as well as digital printmaking, edition binding, innovative book structures and collaborations with poets, artists, writers and thinkers.

Harry Reese is Professor of Art at UC Santa Barbara where he has taught book art, print, papermaking and media ecology classes since 1978. The experimental print and book art courses he taught in the College of Creative Studies at UCSB became the basis for a program he founded in 1985, which offers the only undergraduate major in "Book Arts" within the University of California system.

Sandra Reese does most of the printing and edition binding for their book publications (Turkey Press and Edition Reese) in their Isla Vista studio.
The most recent book of poems she designed and produced -- Kinnikinnick Brand Kickapoo Joy-Juice -- features selected "metafours" by Jonathan Williams along with her hand-inked stencils and experimental prints that accompany drawings by John Furnival.

The lecture will be held on September 22 at 7 p.m. in Margaret Morrison Breed Hall and is free to the public.
