BOOK ARTS
The UNO Book Arts program is centered in the Fine Arts
Press, a typographic studio and letterpress print shop devoted to book
arts instruction. Students work within the tradition of hand set type,
letterpress printing and hand bookbinding to create both limited edition
and unique books. Interdisciplinary projects utilizing papermaking,
classical printmaking, sculpture, or electronic imaging applications
are also explored. Studio majors may choose a book arts concentration
culminating in advanced study and a thesis exhibition. The facility
houses Vandercook proof presses, iron handpresses, treadle presses,
over 300 cases of monotype, foundry and wood type, standing presses
for bookbinding as well as other elementary binding equipment.
