The Museum of Printing Encourages Printers around the World to Share their #PrintinginPlace Strategies while Sheltering at Home
The Museum of Printing in Haverhill, Massachusetts is asking printers around the world to share the projects they are working on while sheltering at home. The promotion, under the hashtag #PrintinginPlace, is a way to connect and have fun during a difficult time.
There are lots of ways that folks can participate:
- Track the hashtag #PrintinginPlace to see what others are up to
- If you want to join in the fun, use the hashtag #PrintinginPlace on Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter to highlight what you are working on (like letterpress and silkscreen prints, linocuts, a woodcuts, or a potato prints).
- Take a shot at replicating an Inland Printer cover* (or other historical printed document or advertisement) as demonstrated below by the Museum’s own Mindy Mitrano.
*This is inspired by the many folks worldwide who are trying to recreate famous artworks using themselves and whatever they find around the house. Our thanks to the Instagram account Between Art and Quarantine (@tussenkunstenquarantaine), the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam (#tussenkunstenquarantaine), and the Getty Museum (#gettymuseumchallenge).
One easy way to find a suitable cover from The Inland Printer is to do a Google search on “Inland Printer cover” (you’ll be amazed at what comes up!). Also, another great source is our book The Inland Printer: A Selection of Historic Covers (see https://museumofprinting.org/news-and-events/the-inland-printer-a-selection-of-historic-covers/).
The Museum of Printing wants to see your #stayhome productivity. Show us what you’ve been inspired to print, learn, or create. Just use the hashtag #PrintingInPlace and be sure to tag us!
