Making Good Trouble with Bad Printing with Amos Paul Kennedy Jr.

Frontline Arts is excited to announce the visit of esteemed letterpress printer Amos Paul Kennedy Jr. to the studios from October 9th through October 11th. This visit was made possible by funds from the New Jersey State Council on the Arts, a partner agency of the National Endowment for the Arts. Frontline Arts was awarded the Special Initiative Grant by the New Jersey State Council on the Arts in May of 2023 for Kennedy’s October visit. The initial planning of this project was also supported in part by General Operating Support received from the Geraldine R. Dodge Foundation.

Frontline Arts  will be facilitating two days of letterpress workshops, led by Kennedy, on October 10th and the 11th, free of charge and open to the public, at our studios in Branchburg, NJ. Participants will make and take a variety of layered, letterpress posters, printed with vintage wood type on proofing presses. These workshops will culminate in a free artist talk at the Newark Public Library on the evening of the 11th (registration is required).
