Homage to MERTZ

 

My biblionautic chums and friends.Tomorrow evening (6th May 2024) will be the first (of many I hope) evening of the Printwurk Club. So a little prep work is required. Make sure the Adana's are oiled and ready to go, type suused out, blocks waiting etc etc etc.

The evening is intended to introduce students to typeset printing using the fantastic Adana 8x5.... to maximise the printing potential of the Adana. In addition we explore the fluidity of type.

Now it just so happens that a certain Kurt Schwitters lived a stones throw away from Studio 5 while he was in London.... Yes, he of MERTZ. So in a humble sort of way the theme of the evening will look towards MERTZ for initial inspiration.... and why not.

A few practise prints to get me in the mood....

Please note.... there are other studios/binderies/ doing stuff, spelling and grammar. Please further note, the opinion of the author may change at any moment. This is due to having an open mind of sorts.
