Kyle Durrie brings letterpress to the people through demonstrations of traditional hand-set letter block printing, all from a fully functional mobile print shop built into the back of an old delivery truck.
Kyle Durrie, the proprietor of Power & Light Press, has been printing since 2006. She got her start through classes, self-study, and apprenticeships at Blue Barnhouse (Asheville, NC) and Wolfe Editions (Portland, ME). Kyle received her BA in 2002 from Bowdoin College in Brunswick, ME with a focus in drawing and printmaking and, in 2004, attended the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture in Skowhegan, ME. She has also done residencies at the Vermont Studio Center (Johnson, VT), the Contemporary Artists Center (North Adams, MA), and the Hamilton Wood Type and Printing Museum (Two Rivers, WI).
Power & Light Press is based out of Portland, OR, and is spending most of 2011 on the road with “Moveable Type”.
