WNYBAC Member Demo Days - January 09
I was just informed by Ami (VIA Richard Kegler) of a great series of workshops offered by Western New York Book Arts Collaborative.
In advance of our Spring Workshop Schedule, we are doing something a little more casual to help members become acquainted with our facilities at 468Washington St., Buffalo. Starting for the next 3 Wednesday evenings, we will have 2hour demonstrations of some of our equipment. These are not in-depth workshops but rather overviews where you can see various processes, ask questions or offer input. In some cases, we are still learning ourselves, so in the spirit of collaboration and creative inspiration:Demo Days...open to all

Thermography
Wednesday, January 14 6pm-8pm
The "raised" type you see on many business cards or "Poor man's engraving"is a relatively simple process but getting it right and using it in theright situations can be tricky. See some examples of this technique and tryout our modest set up for this elusive post-printing technique.----------
Ludlow line casting
Wednesday, January 21 6pm-8pm
Our newly tuned-up Ludlow Typograph machine and selection of over 100 fontsis ready for some serious use. Members who joined before December 20 willhave received a holiday ornament cast on the Ludlow. See what it takes touse this machine and cast a line to take home.----------
Punching & Cutting machines
Wednesday January 28 6pm-8pm
Paper Drills, grommet machines, corner rounders, and a trusty Guillotine are but a few of the resources we have to make paper yield to your will. Some of these machines will always require WNYBAC staff assistance, but many others are just fun to put holes in paper. Get a tour of these tools that can help put that final touch on your book edition project.----
