 Madeleine Zygarewicz is the muscles and most of the time the brain behind the press. Letterpress printing has captivated her for over 12 years, cranking presses throughout the country and abroad. She received her BA in Book Arts at Mills College in 2000. Shortly after, she had a residency at the Gutenberg Museum in Mainz, Germany to print a collaborative artist book, Body of Text. Her work can be found in special collections around the country and has been exhibited internationally. Her favorite days at the print shop include feverishly hand cranking, boning, scoring and stuffing letterpress printed matter while her Jack Russell Terrier naps in the sun. She also teaches printing classes at the International Printing Museum printmuseum.org and privately. |
