Mare Blocker MKimberly
Press |
|
| Mare Blocker first became interested in books in 1979 while studying creative writing, textiles and sculpture at the University of Washington. She attributes her twenty-year relationship with her Vandercook 219 proofing press for instilling the magic that has remained a constant in the alchemical process of art and bookmaking. Her favorite among the mottos and mantras that support her routine is: Freedom of the press belongs to those who own the presses so START TALKING! Mare lives in Walla Walla, Washington during the academic year and the rest of the year in the small town of McCall, Idaho, home of her McKimberly Press. |  |
