This special collaboration between the Artist-in-Residence program and Dafi Kühne will provide the rare opportunity for designers, artists, and students to work directly with this innovative artist and master printer without traveling to his studio in Switzerland. The New School of Old School will consist of two workshops, both open to the public, presented over six days each: January 4–9 and January 11–16, with a limit of 12 per session. Attendees can sign up for either one or both sessions. For details, visit the HMCT Archetype Press website.
Kühne is a graphic designer, typographer, and letterpress printer. He studied in Zürich at the Visual Communications Department of Zürich University of the Arts. After learning the skills of letterpress printing, he focused on more contemporary methods, exploring the potential of using newer technologies in combination with traditional printing equipment.
