Each year since 2012 the printing faction of the Chesapeake Chapter has produced a calendar using a variety of printing techniques, mostly centered around letterpress. These efforts often use the opportunity to experiment with new techniques & new layouts of both printing & typography. The calendars are sold with the funds supporting up to 10 student memberships for Denker Fellows each year, as well as support for monthly speakers, trips & other projects.

The online the price is $25 which includes shipping. These make great presents and support an important cause. A link to order will be available soon.

29,120 small squares cut out by hand with little tiny elementary school scissors along with 1,960 small circles actually punched out with sharpened plastic straws from McDonalds. Seriously. I mean it. Q.
