Hamilton Hang: Chad Johnson - San Francisco Center for the Book

We’ll get a tour of the SFCB print studio as they try to fine tune the pressroom over the course of the shutdown. Chad Johnson is an artist, printer, bookbinder, and teacher who has been living in the Bay Area for the past two decades. He has worked in conservation labs, letterpress shops, and libraries. He has experience conserving historic books, analyzing collections of rare books, working with artists and authors, printing professionally on many different letterpress machines, and teaching and sharing his love of books and printing. As SFCB's Studio Director | Resident Instructor, he brings knowledge and experience fueled by passion and enthusiasm for the art and craft of making books by hand. From digital typesetting to steamroller printing to fixing presses to talking about letterpress history, Chad is always happy to help students and artists learn to express themselves through the powerful medium of the handmade book.
