AIGA/Austin- Small Talks with Bradley Hutchinson

Bradley Hutchinson has been working with my typecasting equipment lately, and he thought that AIGA members might be interested in seeing how lead type is made since there are so few opportunities these days to witness what is essentially a nineteenth century technology. Bradley  will demonstrate the monotype caster and then talk about making the transition from traditional lead-based letterpress to the digital environment.

    This would be great, I have heard he runs a great shop. I would love seeing the monotype working. I’ve set all my type by hand and I also use the digital photopolymer method and Mag plates. If you’re in Austin this is a must see.
