It has been an intense sixteen weeks, but students of Dr. Curtis Bauer’s graduate seminar, The History and Theory of Printing, have produced several amazing broadsides. Some of the students’s incredible work went for sale at this year’s Association of Writers and Writing Programs 2013 conference in Boston, MA and at the Sowell Collection 2013 conference in Lubbock, TX. Below are pictures of the students’s work designed and printed in the English department’s Letterpress Laboratory at Texas Tech University. Dr. Bauer’s students will be finish printing their final broadside projects this week, so check back soon for more pictures of their work.
