Just a couple of days ago I had the pleasure of teaching a workshop alongside these fine fellows at Mackenzie House Museum here in Toronto. It was a combination bookbinding & printmaking class, geared at learning traditional techniques and using analogue tools and equipment. It was great fun, everyone left with a unique journal they handbound and then printed themselves!
The entire month of April is Print Month over at Mackenzie House! There are more printmaking events happening at the museum, see their website for details.

Part of this feature is an interview, a great Q & A to give you a bit more insight into what I do and why. Here’s a snippet:
“Carolyn Eady’s first job was at the public library, back when she was starting high school. She loved reading and writing before, but this constant exposure to books and the world of publications was new to her. She was blown away by the diversity of what a book could be, and loved every minute of it”.
