Aug 23 2008 - 1:00pm Aug 23 2008 - 6:00pm The School of Visual Concepts’ 7th Annual Wayzgoose, celebrating the time-honored art of letterpress printing, will reappear Saturday, August 23 from 1 to 6 pm at SVC’s Seattle location. For those who aren’t familiar with a Wayzgoose, it’s a tradition in the letterpress world that dates back to the 17th Century, when printers would serve a feast to their staff in recognition of the impending shorter days of fall and winter which would require the difficult work of handsetting type by candlelight. This year's events include a Steamroller Letterpress Smackdown, Northwest Invitational Letterpress Show, Letterpress Marketplace, Equipment Swap, and Shop Tours and Printing Demos. Food and drink will be available at this family-friendly event. Contact: For more information go to: School of Visual Concepts |
