Tour of Paper Machine<\/h2>\n

Sunday, July 14, 2019, 2PM-3PM
\nPaper Machine, 6330 St Claude Avenue, New Orleans, LA 70117<\/h3>\n

Paper Machine is a 5000-square-foot printshop in the Lower 9th Ward housing a range of traditional and cutting edge print technologies, to enhance, amplify, and explore New Orleans’s rich printing heritage while providing significant opportunities for artists and residents of the Lower Ninth Ward and beyond. Paper Machine welcomes visitors during Kolaj Fest New Orleans. Learn more HERE<\/a>. They are open Monday-Friday, 9AM to 4PM.<\/p>\n

It is also the home of Hope Amico’s Gutwrench Press<\/a>. A co-organizer of the Mystic Krewe of Scissors and Glue, Amico is a collage artist, trained letterpress printer and former community bike shop volunteer, living and working in New Orleans. She is the force behind Gutwrench Press–a letterpress shop, zine distribution, and home of the \u201cKeep Writing Project\u201d, a postcard subscription she started in 2008 while an undergrad at Louisiana State University. Her work has been shown in Oakland, California; New Orleans, Louisiana; Denver, Colorado; and Barranquilla, Colombia.<\/p>\n

On Sunday of Kolaj Fest New Orleans, Hope will lead a tour of this artist-centered printshop and highlight ways artists can work with Paper Machine to produce books, zines, and other projects.<\/p>\n
