Made it out to my first "Second Friday's" in Longmont last week. I really enjoyed the opening of When the Winds Whisper featuring artists Abbie R. Powers and Denny Haskew at the Arts Longmont Gallery. #secondfridays #longmont #colorado #artslongmontgallery #abbierpowers #dennyhaskew #art #silk #photography #installation

Bittersweet to realize I won't be returning to the fleet of letterpresses that I restored when classes resume on Monday. All of you PSU art students better keep me updated :) #letterpress #restorations #vandercook #potter #pittstate #graduate #oagaag #nowacoloradoresident

We had an enjoyable evening at the Graduate School and Research Banquet last night. Hunter was recognized three times and I ended up with a first place plaque for my printmaking research that I presented at the research colloquium last week. #pittstate #psu #research #printmaking

Yesterday I presented my printmaking research at the Research Colloquium at PSU. It was such a rewarding time to express my love for letterpress and textiles, and to have had judges who were genuinely interested in my endeavors! #research #pittstate #letterpress #textiles

Dreaming of a day of diving into type and ink and paper and fabric without other projects, worries, distractions... #seniorincollege #dreaming #letterpress #textiles #ink

Made some simple repeat patterns in my raster graphics class week. Only appropriate that I incorporated a brayer and letterpress. This would be really fun fabric! #letterpress #textiles #raster #photoshop #brayer #vandercook #speedball #printmaking

The brand new Bicknell Center at #pittstate is already providing many opportunities that one would normally have to travel to a large city to see. Last night was #rezaillusionist and next month will be #STOMP and a presentation by #LauraBush @rezaillusionist Thank you for coming out and knocking our socks off!

My napkin has been selected to be published in the 2014-2015 Cow Creek Review! #published #cowcreekreview #textiles #nature

It looks as though this is a Potter No. 1 or No. 2 proof press. I think the serial number was hidden under the cylinder. @the__arm Do these presses have a mechanism that locks the bed into place or might it just need a bit of oil? I know the pedal is a trip. I'm unfamiliar with Potters and haven't had much luck finding answers! #potter #letterpress

Mysterious letterpresses lingering in a random room at the library on campus. If only I could find permission to restore them and put them to use! #dreaming #letterpress #mystery

Enjoyed spending my morning and afternoon at the Nelson Atkins Museum with a friend. It was surprising how many works were displayed that I have studied in the last few semesters. #art #nelson #nelsonatkinsmuseum
