Workshop on Bookbinding and Printmaking in the Age of Shakespeare

On Saturday, November 12th at the Hite Art Institute, Professors Barbara Hanger and Rachel Singel, and Nick Baute and Robert Ronk of Hound Dog Press led a free workshop on Bookbinding and Printmaking in the Age of Shakespeare as part of this fall’s “Will in the Ville” festivities. Participants had the opportunity to bind a book of their own, set their names in type, and print a copy of Hamlet's Soliloquy. In addition, Professor Rachel Hilmer (Theatre Arts) worked with the participants in a reading activity to better understand the evolution of the text's publication.

Thank you to Professors Andrew Rabin and Mark Mattes of the English Department for making this workshop possible! And thank you to to graduate students KCJ Szwedzinski, Monica Stewart, Miranda Becht, and printmaking students Lucas Keown and Ed Laster for helping to make the event such a success!
