MORE ABOUT YOUR HOST
RAR RAR Press was born in 2004 when Rebecca Ann Rakstad took her first letterpress class at the Center for Book and Paper Arts. Her first project was a postcard, and she's been creating letterpress postcards ever since. With a background photography, book arts and involvement in the DIY and zine communities, letterpress was a perfect fit. Rebecca received her a BFA from the Art Institute of Chicago in 2000 and an MFA from Columbia College in Book and Paper Arts in 2008. She now has a studio filled with type and paper and a couple 1,000 lb. antique presses.
