For the longest time, my dream was to move to a cabin in the woods that was big enough for a comfortable bed, a simple kitchen, a reasonable bathroom and a studio for letterpress printing.
Not that I knew how to set type or print with a letterpress, but the hands-on monotony was appealing.
The fantasy also presupposed the cabin had clean running water, electricity, internet and was accessible all year round.
Flash forward, and I discover Public Space One and the Iowa City Press Co-op offer workshops, including letterpress and found a joy of making art.
And now you can buy some of my prints on Etsy. All proceeds will go to Iowa City Mutual Aid.
It’s not a hermit cabin in the woods, but it’ll do.
