INSPIRATION: Peter Koch
February 26th, 2009
Though the Kindle II arrived to great fanfare this month, we’re still feeling romantic about books as objects–the smell, the size, and the feel of turning pages. Peter Koch Printers shares our enthusiasm for the book–and more. He uses old presses in combination with computers, and teaches both the history of typography and how to use an Albio hand press. We only wish we could head to Cali for our lessons right now.
You can hear Peter Koch speak, here, in a talk he called “The Book as a Work of Art: a meditation on poetry, metaphysics and printing.”
