Lost for Words

Dartmouth Book Arts Workshop

___

The mission of the Book Arts Workshop is to introduce students to the craft of letterpress printing and hand bookbinding; to promote an understanding of the art and history of the printed and written word; and to expose the College community to the rich library resources available to them for scholarly research into the history of the book. Seminars and workshops are regularly scheduled, and each year a Book Arts Prize for excellence in printing and bookbinding is offered. Biology student Diane Jang was one who enjoyed the Book Arts experience. Her selection of words in Lost for Words (2015) created a work that communicated both visually and verbally.
