International Types

Description

October/November 2019.10/11
Students Nicola Dunbar (Australia) / Joana Paranhos (Portugal) / Kara Sims (New Zealand) & Adam Smith (United States) produced an extraordinarily beautiful series of compositions & spreads to create ‘International Types – an (slightly larger than) A1 Octavo’ on ‘The Very Late Summer School’ from Monday 28 October – Friday 01 November. The sheet was designed & hand-set across the last three of the five days as a series of double page spreads with content relevant to the counties the students originated from / it was printed in a very limited edition of 18 on a 125gsm Zerkall & printed in two colours – a dark Grey mix (Silver & Black) / & an ‘old’ Red found in an ancient ink tin. The elusive Freddy Williams assisted on the early days of the course & the multi-talented Andy Altmann kindly gave up his precious time as the ‘workshop consultant’ to crit & discuss the outcomes of the week.
