First Thursday Recommendation

October 2nd, 2008

First Thursday is here again, and I have a personal recommendation for you. Be sure to stop by the Independent Publishing Resource Center (IPRC) for the opening of “Small Press: The Art and Business of Loaded Hips Press and Red Bat Press” featuring artwork by Shannon Buck and Carye Bye.

The show’s name “Small Press” has two meanings: both women own small businesses and both make small-size prints. At the opening, you’ll get a chance to meet both artists and hear about how they create their art and run their businesses.

Here are the details:

Shannon Buck of Loaded Hips Press and Carye Bye of Red Bat Press present a joint show of small prints (lino-cut, woodblock, letterpress, and mixed media). Both printers met at the Independent Publishing Resource Center (which has a full letterpress print shop) around 2002-2003 and launched their own small businesses making and selling prints. This show will tell their story, process, and show a collection of prints from each press.
