A contemporary artist, Margot Ecke, bills herself as a letterpress printer and book-binder. In addition to creating excellent, beautiful and smart work, she shares her talent with others as an instructor who runs Smokey Road Press near Athens, Georgia. At the press, Margot collaborates with artists from around the country to create art that is in her own words, "finely considered and expertly done."
This summer, through her extensive network of other notable creatives, she is offering an opportunity for others to participate in this process through her kickstarter project, Six Letterpress Printed Artist Editions. Its easy to take advantage of this opportunity and by pledging as little as $25 you will receive a fine work of art for your enjoyment. Naturally, the rewards of art will increase with the value of your donation. When this project is funded it will allow for the purchase of a polymer platemaker- a machine that exposes and develops image files created on the computer.
I hope you will log on to kickstarter and make a donation, big or small. In the meantime, enjoy looking at some of the excellent choices available.
