#Letterpressprinting

Since 1978, Bow & Arrow Press has resided in a tiny corner of the Adams House, one of a dozen residential Houses devoted to Harvard undergraduate students. It is located in a building at the intersection of Bow and Arrow Streets, which its name originated. For 45 years, Bow & Arrow Press welcomed everybody in the community--students, faculty, staff, alumni, and the Adams House residents--and taught the art of letterpress to anybody who wanted to learn largely free of charge.

This Monday, the movers came and packed the contents of the studio, including the vintage presses and type cases, for storage while the Adams House renewal project takes place. The renewal plan had included the Bow & Arrow Press until April 16th, when Adams House’s faculty deans informed the community that the studio would not move back into their space after renovations are completed in 2025.

For 45 years, the Bow & Arrow Press has been a true community press. Over the years, thousands came to learn to typeset, get their fingers inky, and joyously run the century old letterpress. The creator of this artist’s book, scholar Johanna Drucker, used the press while she was a Harvard Mellon Faculty Fellow in the Department of Fine Arts. Drucker produced the letterpress edition of “The Word Made Flesh” in the winter of 1988-1989 with the assistance and support of James Barondess and Gino Lee, founders of the Bow & Arrow Press. Last Wednesday, Barondess (A.B.’79, Ph.D. ’93) came to the last Open Press Night and shared the early history of the press with the many younger generation printers who attended the event. 

Poet Seamus Heaney also became familiar with the Bow & Arrow during his Harvard years, and theater director Peter Sellars was among the first students to get their hands on the press.

You can read more about the Bow & Arrow Press in an article, “The Eviction of the Bow & Arrow Press” written by Craig Lambert on Harvard Magazine.

【WORKS】年賀状デザインコンペ採用と販売のお知らせ(2022)

株式会社大同印刷所様/UV×Design様の「紙にこだわる年賀状デザイン募集2023年」にて、私すずきいときちの作品が2点採用いただきました。 紙や印刷にこだわれるという事で、活版印刷ならではの面白さが表現できるようなデザインを心掛けました。 ——————————– 【S02/うさぎのお鼻】 うさぎのお鼻が「Y」の文字に見えたので、「HAPPY NEW YEAR」の文字の一部にしました。手描き感のある線と活版印刷で温かみのあるデザインを目指しました。大胆な空押しでうさぎが引き立ちます。 ●紙種類：コットンペーパー ●インキ：PANTONE Rhod Red／空押し 【🛒S02/ご注文ページ】 ——————————– 【S14/積雪】 雪の上をウサギたちが走っているデザインの年賀状です。活版印刷過程特有の凸凹で雪の雰囲気を表現しました。ぴょんぴょん跳躍のある一年となりますように。印圧による光の当たり方でうさぎが見え隠れする活版印刷らしい年賀状です。 ●紙種類：コットンペーパー ●インキ：シルバー／空押し 【🛒S14/ご注文ページ】 ——————————– 【🐇結果発表ページ】 【🏠紙にこだわる年賀状2023】 11/23まで10％OFFの早期割引、また一度で年賀状2件以上のご注文で15％OFFの複数割引となります。 どうぞよろしくお願いいたします。 ——————————– 「うさぎのお鼻」が、2023年の人気デザインランキングで2位だったそうです。 たくさんご注文いただきありがとうございました！ ——————————– 【✏イラストのお仕事のお問い合わせはこちら】 ——————————– 【WORKS】Two of my illustrations were selected for commercialization in a New Year's card illustration contest sponsored by a printing company. Since the competition was sponsored by a printing company and we were able to focus on paper and printing, we tried to create a design that would express the fun of letterpress printing. 【S02/Rabbit's nose】 The rabbit's nose looked like the letter "Y", so we made it part of the "HAPPY NEW YEAR" text. We aimed for a warm design with hand-drawn lines and letterpress printing. The bold sky stamping makes the rabbit stand out. 【S14/Snow】 This New Year's greeting card design features rabbits running on snow. The unique unevenness of the letterpress printing process expresses the atmosphere of snow. We wish you a year of jumping and leaping. The way the light hits the rabbits depending on the printing pressure makes them appear and disappear in this letterpress-like New Year's card. Thank you!
