Wayzgoose Follow Up

A few weeks ago a few of our Stout Students made our way over to the Hamilton Woodtype and Printing Museum to Volunteer at Hamilton's first ever Wazygoose Conference! We had so much fun, met some really cool people, and even got to make some prints.

Joe Alliotto, Laura Howard, Andrew Ridgeway, Lindsey Bock
We were making "type drawers" - Boxers with Type printed on them...

Matthew Carter and Kolean Pitner (AIGA Co-Director of Education)
We got to print with Matthew Carter's newly named Van Lanen Latin Wide!!

I had him sign mine =)

For more details on everything that we experienced that weekend check out Letterpress Adventures!

Thanks to Laura Howard for passing this cool site on!

Simply fill in the font template, scan and upload it to our website, and download your completed font. The fonts you create using fontcapture.com can be used on both Windows and Mac computers.

A few weeks back I received an e-mail from 2008 Stout Grad Hannah Roesler all about type. Just thought I'd share it with the rest of you.
