For the month of January I will be interning at the legendary Hatch Show Print in Nashville TN, and I can't tell you how excited and thankful I am to be doing this. I applied for this position back in the fall, and to my great delight I was accepted. I decided to keep a blog during my time here so that I can share this awesome experience with others. So expect to see LOTS of photos, watch a video or 2 and read details about what it's like to work at Hatch Show Print. I hope you enjoy reading.
I'd like to share a snippet from my cover letter. I feel that it sums up my thoughts and attitudes towards letterpress and Hatch Show Print quite well...
I am so eager to experience all that is Hatch Show Print. I want to work alongside the best minds in the field of letterpress and absorb everything about it. I want to experience the sights, the smells, the sounds… I want to breath in dirt from century old wood type, I want to shake Jim Sherraden’s hand, and meet all the people that keep this American institution alive and running. I want to understand what it must be like to have the best job on earth. I want to experience what it is like to work at Hatch Show Print.
Thank you! Happy reading..
That cat is simply HUGE!
ReplyDeleteThis gal can write! That graph from your letter to Hatch made me get a shiver. Unalloyed passion makes great writing (and living). 2 Thumbs Up!
