Part of the J. Willard Marriott Library since 1995, the Book Arts Program champions wide-ranging explorations of the book in our interdisciplinary makers’ space for active learners from the campus, local, national, and international communities.

The State of the Art and Craft Letterpress Summit| Sunday, October 6th, 2024

Ladies of Letterpress Conference

Ladies of Letterpress is known for mixing it up at conferences: from big to-dos in hotel ballrooms to sweating it out in Iowa pole barns to Zooming in from all over the world.

This year, on October 6, Ladies of Letterpress and Central Print are pleased to present The State of the Art and Craft Letterpress Summit, a free, one-day, online event to discuss, as a community, where letterpress is, how it's changed, and where we want it to be. We'll have guest hosts, talk shop, and hopefully will emerge energized!


In advance of the Summit, we're sending out a comprehensive State of Letterpress Survey to help us take stock. You can fill it out now, if you want! Follow us @ladiesofletterpress and @centralprint for all the updates.

Next year, we'll resume our in-person gathering hosted by the Book Arts Program at the J. Willard Marriott Library, the University of Utah, Salt Lake City.


Thank you to all of our 2023 event sponsors!
