Science on Tap: The Art & Science of Printmaking Description:
Join us Wednesday, July 26 from 6:00-8:00 p.m. for the next Science on Tap!

Printmaking was new technology in the 16th century that helped pave the way for modern printing presses and the automated systems we use today. Join us for a Science on Tap exploring the art and science of printmaking with Arron Parrett, local letterpress printer and author. We'll be exploring the history of this groundbreaking technology, for the 1500's that is, while getting a chance to see books that were printed using this creative technology! This Science on Tap is brought to you in collaboration with the Lewis and Clark Public Library.
