Refurbishing a Small Press
Hosted by Alberta Printmakers, Calgary AB
Online Interactive Demonstration
January 13th, 2021
6:30pm - 8:30pm MST


Thinking about investing in some letterpress equipment or have a rusty little machine that you would love to bring back to life? We will cover basic press components and operation as well as how to spot damaged areas, cleaning methods, making minor repairs and sourcing replacement parts (much of this information is applicable to a wide range of press models and styles). There will also be plenty of time for questions throughout this interactive demonstration, participants who already have a press they wish to restore should have it handy so that they can ask specific questions or show areas that they are unsure about. Never be afraid of rust –  you feel empowered as you acquire these skills and tackle a project with great rewards.

The Scene Between: An Exploration of When Cultures Meet
Solo Show
Leighton Art Centre, Calgary AB
January 30th - March 6th, 2021


Cultural disconnect and loss is a common theme running through many Canadian families. This exhibit explores one artist’s journey to find the beauty in the fragmentation within her own family. Loosely drawing from Anishinaabe beadwork patterns found on bandolier bags made in the 19th century, the heart of this exhibit is one set of letterpress printed hand carved linoleum blocks that in turn, symbolize lost language, cultural assimilation as well as genetic traits.

Michelle Wiebe has created several small bodies of work that explore joining of her Scottish, French and Ojibwe heritage. Through the repetition of letterpress printing and various themes explored in these works, a pattern begins to emerge of personal identity as well as an awareness of what has been lost. Throughout this process is reflection on whether it is possible to appropriate from one’s own culture if a person was not raised within it.
