ABOUT CAMP NEVERNICE

Laura Baisden cut her teeth on letterpress blocks as a young pup, putting away type and cranking posters for Bryce McCloud at Isle of Printing from 2006­-2010. There, she learned to love carving and the process of letterpress printing. Then, she got a job at Hatch Show Print and really honed her type­setting skills designing posters for all kinds of jobs­ local and international. In five years, she designed and printed hundreds of posters, redistributed thousands of letters and taught about 70 interns the ins and outs of letterpress printing.

With the help of Julie Belcher from Pioneer House, Laura has opened her very own letterpress shop. Based on the principles she learned over the last 9 years combined with her individual style and Pioneer House’s extensive wood type collection, Camp Nevernice seeks to create beautiful hand ­crafted products for whoever needs ‘em. Camp Nevernice offers custom letterpress products to suit needs for all things on paper using her own two hands and her Vandercook cylinder press.

Work in progress for a very exciting project: This is an unusually lateral round of revisions, and I thought it’d be fun to share. If you swipe backwards, you can see where it started. First I traced the clothes and body postures of the kids in the photo (picked from the internet), made a couple xerox copies of it, and then roughly drew and redrew different heads of animals until i decided what fit where. Then redrew the characters a few times until I got the clothes to fit right, then drew the forest background separately (looking at pictures of #olympicnationalpark)...then traced the whole thing together...made a copy of that...and played with some markers to decide on color separations. This is DEFINITELY not the final call for color and some of the little details will undoubtedly change in the course of carving, but it’s fun to see how it’s shaping up so far. (Copy machines for the win) . . . . . . #drawings #sketchforathing #whatsphotoshop #legitlayers #woodlandcreatures #elementaryschool #elementaryteacher #natureschool #animals #animalsdoingthings #handcarve #linocut #reduction #printmaking

This will be a little 2 week slice of heaven- @mmazorra is gonna be there, and @haypeep (!) Plus other people who are also undoubtedly very amazing....I just can’t wait.

I only dogpaddle.)
