I’ve been making friends with this beast of a Vandercook, getting a little faster with lockup and cleanup. I’m registering the back side of translucent Japanese paper in the video, with the other shots showing the first side lockup and feedboard. Thanks @editionbasel for clear instructions, first time cleaning assist and the opportunity. Ready for big type next... #letterpress #editionbasel #artistbooks (at Basel, Switzerland) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0RuRFjB-eK/?igshid=ciojsjyouglh

Visited the Basler Papiermühle, and first stop was papermaking. Sheets made from cotton rag include a Basel watermark. Historic photo shows rag sorting before going through the beater, a job relegated to women. #editionbasel #papermaking #bookarts (at Basler Papiermühle) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0HZNoChriz/?igshid=1n3qdcc32d90a

Swiss Delight: The Hugo. Start with prosecco, add a little elderflower syrup. Get a bunch of mint and just spank it between your hands a few times, then add to the glass with lots of sliced lime and ice. Top with a splash of sparkling water. You will be transported to Alpine lakes and mountain scenery, possibly able to yodel if you made it right. #elderflower #editionbasel #druckwerk https://www.instagram.com/p/B1APnefBnKm/?igshid=10pvd2f15zrgf

First day at @editionbasel, navigating ciceros and more. Type high is 23.56 mm, “schmuck” describes ornaments, “klischee” are cuts, accented sorts abound, and composing sticks are set very accurately with lengths of metal. #letterpress #druckwerk #metaltype #woodtypewednesday (at Basel, Switzerland) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0CAY7uBT3r/?igshid=154w6caw2icp2
