'MAZING



This past Saturday the team had the opportunity to go visit the great Amos Kennedy in Gordo, Alabama! The minute we walked in his letterpress shop we were overwhelmed with cases of letters and printing presses that we could only dream of using!!! Amos gave us the opportunity to watch him print some small posters then gave us the opportunity to make our own posters. Charlotte has a way of saying things that are just memorable and keep us constantly intrigued to write them down! So for this particular day, she kept saying that everything was AMAZING! So we shortened it and made it part of Project M....'MAZING! After we all had a chance of inking and printing, we walked to the nearby gallery to watch a documentary on Amos and how he left the corporate business world when he found his love for printing. To Amos he is just a printer, but to all of us, he is an artist that is constantly pushing the limits with his art. Also thanks to the PDC group who helped us gather for this 'MAZING experience!
