HM BLOG
Ongoing news from and about the studio is now posted on the blog.
New for 2012: Ongoing clean-up and -out of the studio has resulted in the HM Drop Box; three sets of samples and ephemera spanning the years 2000 to 2011.
First in the press for 2012: TYPES/PAPER/PRINT, our first type specimen book. Copies ready around April or May.
We're also working on the second volume in our occasional Artist Pamphlet Series. This one (title TBD) will feature the work of Seattle artist David George who creates photograms. We're collaborating with New Leaf Editions again, experimenting with intaglio methods for reproducing David's images (which essentially monoprints created in a darkroom using photographic techniques, with no matrix such as a negative, for producing multiples). Publication is planned for early 2012.
During the fall of 2011, we printed the third volume in the Barbara Hodgson/Claudia Cohen color series, Occupied by Colour. This will be the first volume in the series to actually be printed at HM, with the handpress (the previous volumes were printed by David Clifford at Black Stone Press). Occupied by Colour is scheduled for publication in late spring 2012. Patrons who purchased previous volumes in the series should contact their bookseller to reserve a copy, as the series remains over-subscribed.
We've started planning for a leaf book to be issued in 2012, featuring original samples from George Wither's 1635 Book of Emblemes. More details to follow on the blog.
Oddballs, a collection of 40 wood engravings of (in)famous people from throughout history, by Jim Westergard, was issued in October 2011. Sadly, it was not fully subscribed at the time of publication. Happily, the few remaining copies were reserved within a few days of the book's publication; it is out of print. Check with our booksellers, any of whom would be happy to unload any copies that remain.
Please don't call or write with submissions or requests for job printing. Life is plenty full as it is.
