Fresh from the Carmel Bach Festival: A pen for your thoughts

[Alyson Kuhn] The first event I attended at the 73rd annual Carmel Bach Festival was a one-hour lecture by singer/teacher/raconteur David Gordon preceding a performance of the St. Matthew Passion (1727). Gordon is indeed passionate about this subject, and his talk was not only brilliant but surprisingly, well, Alysonian. When I told my friend Vinz about it afterwards, he deadpanned, “Did he know you were going to the lecture?” Drole.

In the pressroom: Printing John Madere’s photographs at Sandy Alexander

[Lynda Decker] I’ve been working with uncoated paper for the last 10 years — for almost every project in my studio, including annual reports full of photography. I’m quite excited to have rediscovered Kromekote. It boggles my mind to say this: The surface of Kromekote is so glossy, but it behaves like an uncoated sheet.

Marian Bantjes: 3 questions by Sean Adams

[Sean Adams] In disaster movies, characters create tight bonds amidst burning skyscrapers, airplane crashes or earth-crust displacement. I formed a bond like this with Marian Bantjes when we both faced down a charging rhino in Africa. Really. This is a true story. Obviously, Marian is incredibly talented. She does work that, to me, is beyond the limits of human beings. And that’s all swell. But she has the most infectious and wonderful laugh you will ever hear.

Love, love photocards

[Tracy Smith] I love photocards. I love sending them and I love getting them, especially from long-time friends {hint, hint} who I don’t get to see all that often. That’s why I’m really excited about a new source for custom cards: Pinhole Press.

There is one thing I usually dislike about photocards: most of them come printed on flimsy paper or *gasp* photo paper. If you’re going to put the time and money into holiday cards, they should look like it!  Plus, I tend to hang onto photocards, so they need to stand up to the task of being on my fridge for a year.

Pinhole Press cards are printed on thick 110# cover. And since Pinhhole prints everything on Mohawk, I’m an even bigger fan. They use Mohawk Options for their cards and envelopes. It’s bright white, runs beautifully on the Indigo, and at 100% post-consumer waste, it’s a smart environmental choice.

Pinhole Press orders arrive in a recycled kraft box. The cards are carefully belly-banded and wrapped in a new eco-ternative to bubble wrap for packing —so it’s all recyclable.

And now we love Pinhole Press even more because they are offering Felt and Wire readers a 20% discount on holiday card orders with the promo code: mohawk.
