The <\/span>Scarlet Letterpress is the book-arts makerspace for the Rutgers Initiative for the Book.\u00a0 We are dedicated\u00a0<\/span>to critical and creative exploration of the material word, where the literary arts meet the handicrafts of printing and bookmaking.\u00a0 <\/span><\/h4>\n

Located on the third floor of Murray Hall, we<\/span> are open to students, faculty, staff and New Jersey residents.\u00a0 No experience is required.<\/span><\/h4>\n

The Letterpress offers hands-on experience with moveable type and hand-operated printing presses.\u00a0 We also make available typewriters, equipment for making paper and ink, and more analogue technologies of print making and bookhistory. Our collection of materials and technologies is ever-growing, so please stop by to see what’s new!<\/span><\/h4>\n
