The Mill on the Floss (1860). Eliot is one of Amanda Carye’s favourite authors. In 2007 she printed the text on paper, cut it up and placed it on thicker card. She then arranged the text in an accordion style binding, hinging each component with paper. The creation of the box was learnt in the Book Arts Workshop.

I wanted to flip his concept on its head by physically removing the vowels from each of the first five lines of his five vowel-specific poems, creating a constellation of holes where the most operative letters in words used to be.’ This piece is a combination of pressure and letterpress printing; and the vowels were removed with a Japanese screw punch tool – a laborious process but impressive looking!]]> Christian Bok]]> Books]]> ___]]> Books]]> Sarah Smith]]> Books]]> Sarah Smith]]> Books]]> Sarah Smith]]> Books ]]> Emily Chen]]> Books]]> T.

I took the Book Arts Course because I had been visiting the letterpress studio in my spare evenings since my freshman fall. I was thrilled at the chance to pursue my work in the studio and bindery for course credit… I’ve loved the Hitchhiker’s Guide since my Dad first read it to me…[and] it seemed fitting to pair its absurd humor with a technology which requires hours of fiddling over apparently obsolescent machinery. Though they acknowledge the traditions and conventions of letterpress printing, the aim of these two pieces was to boldly split infinitives - and to playfully challenge a few assumptions about letterpress - where none had been split before.’ After graduation, Peale was a Lathem Fellow at Dartmouth’s Rauner Special Collections Library.
