“Building Elaborate Illustrations One Minuscule Piece at a Time” A talk with Jen Farrell of Starshaped Press

For 20 years, Jennifer Farrell of Starshaped Press has focused her letterpress work around metal type and ornament. From rigid cityscapes to organic shapes, each elaborate form challenges the limitations and physicality of the type itself. Jen will be discussing how she addresses a project from initial sketch to final print, sharing solutions for complicated designs and detailing the process through images and support materials she’ll be bringing to the lecture.
