9th Annual Wayzgoose

BAG Event

August 28, 2010 | 1:00 pm - 6:00 pm

Location: 500 Aurora Ave. N., Seattle

Cost: All Wayzgoose events are free

Steamroller Letterpress Smackdown: Local design firms and artists will be challenged to produce a poster which will then be printed in the SVC parking lot with a two-ton steamroller used in place of the traditional printing press.

Letterpress Marketplace: Artists will be on hand selling letterpress posters, broadsides, cards, books, and other ephemera and promoting their studios. As a co-presenter of the Wayzgoose, the Book Arts Guild will have a table in the Marketplace, and BAG members are invited to sell their work. Email info@bookartsguild.org if you'd like to participate.

Equipment Swap: Printers will bring type, cuts, tools, printing accessories, and who-knows-what for selling, buying, or simply admiring. If you would like to participate in the swap, please email jennyw@svcseattle.com.

Shop Tours and Printing Demonstrations: SVC’s letterpress shop will be open for tours. Guests will get a chance to print a free letterpress keepsake on SVC’s beautifully restored iron handpress.

Also: Live music, food, silent auction, and raffle prizes!
