excited for this!

Hi everyone,

I think we had a great meeting as well as a start today!

I am very excited about our upcoming events and projects.

Several things I think we can get started:

1. Icebreaking--chill out and have fun--thanks James for bringing this up, and I am very looking froward to it.

2. Logo and along with all the graphics promoting (posters, newsletters, etc.)--make some visual noise out there.

3. Give presentations to the class--grow the team.

4. Make our classrooms more pretty and functional--I think we should probably get on the crits board first.

5. Contacting Fine Art Department about screen-printing, and Fashion Department about their annual show.

6. We haven't mentioned this in meetings, but it might be beneficial for us to have weekly/monthly crits on our work--in class or outside of school, whatever we're working on.

I feel pretty bad that I won't be at the officer meeting on Monday and next Tuesday meeting, since I'll be in Rhode Island till next Wednesday. But I will be down to have an officer meeting anytime later this week, if it works out for other officers. Please keep me updated :)

P.S. just got an email from aiga about the board meeting in Oct. you probably also got it. anyway, just wanna share it with you guys.

"The Vandercook Book" exhibtion opening September 14

The Vandercook Book: Centenary Celebration Exhibition   |   SEPTEMBER 14 - OCTOBER 12   |   2009    Exhibition opening & new members night with a champagne reception  5 - 8 pm  |   MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 14   |   2009

You are cordially invited to join your fellow Book Club members    to celebrate the centennial of the book artists' favorite proof press . . . THE VANDERCOOK The Book Club of California is pleased to present thirty-two folios from     The Vandercook Book        a limited edition highlighting the work of master printers on the Vandercook

Conceived and published by Barbara Henry and Roni Gross, these folios from master printers reflect their own personal vision and long experience with the press. Also on display are works printed on the Vandercook that are taken from the Book Club's own superb collection of contemporary letterpress printers.

AFTER ONE HUNDRED YEARS the Vandercook proof press has fully matured as a printmaking medium. Originally designed for commercial use, it has become a vehicle for artistic exploration. From creating abstract images to hand-setting essays, from using polymer plates to print on shaped, hand-made paper to printing on a specimen sheet of antique type in mortised brass circles, contributors use an impressive variety of approaches. Each printer has included explanatory notes on the techniques employed. Although it is no longer being made, the press has shown itself to be a flexible enough tool to absorb new technology and move into the next century. We hope that students and practitioners will be inspired by this collection to continue to experiment with the "Vandy".
