SUMMARY:Book Arts Weekend with Brad Vetter: Lecture
DESCRIPTION:Please join UK Libraries' King Library Press on November 14-15 
 for the Fall 2025 Book Arts Weekend with designer and printer Brad Vetter. 
 \n\nHow do digital tools impact an analog process like letterpress 
 printing\, and how can letterpress printing speak to a digital world? In a 
 free public lecture and hands-on workshop\, Vetter will demonstrate the 
 ways in which blending the old and the new can profoundly alter both. Along 
 the way\, Vetter envisions creations that are more than a beautiful image 
 – they are calls to action\, slices of cultural ephemera\, or simple 
 reminders of the good in the world.\n\n\nA Revival of Sorts\nFREE PUBLIC
