Welcome to From the Bench, SFCB’s series of short studio tours with friends near and far. From favorite tools to works in progress, you never know what you’ll learn about from these amazing artists.
In September we’ll chat with printer and papermaker Steve Miller of Red Hydra Press in Tuscaloosa, Alabama.
Steve’s passion is for making books by hand, letterpress printing, and teaching letterpress printing and hand papermaking. His current Red Hydra Press work revolves largely around ongoing collaborative book projects with Cuban print- and papermakers.
Steve was also the longtime coordinator of the MFA in Book Arts program at the University of Alabama, as well as a co-director of the Paper and Book Intensive, a nationally recognized annual series of summer workshops in book arts.
