After the very long relocation process the opening was absolutely fabulous. All three newspapers in the area had been reporting on Saturday morning, the sun was shining, people were streaming in, we had full house on all three days. On Sunday evening we were, so to speak, flat out like a lizard drinking. Even the white tulips in our garden opted …
Rainer Maria Rilke was born in Prague in 1875. He traveled a lot throughout Europe and settled in Switzerland, where he died in 1926 of Leukemia. He’s been writing in German both novels and poems. His language is powerful and he is perceived as mystical. He met Leo Tolstoi, Paula Modersohn-Becker and was married to the sculptor Clara Westhoff. I printed …
When on holidays in Scotland some years ago we went into an antiquarian bookshop where we found “The British Encyclopedia In10 Volumes Illustrated”. It was ever so cheap – for the simple reason that volumes 7 to 10 were missing. Being book lovers we couldn’t resist bying it anyway. It had been published back in 1933. Vol 3 said “CHI-DUN”, …
There is something special to a pen-pal relationship bridging the enormous distance between Germany and Australia. The nations are different in so many aspects, the most obvious of which are climate and history. Both shaped everyday life in the respective locations. It appears that there is some preconception in the sense that the more distant or farther away something is, …

Save the date: The relocation process is drawing to its end. It was a bumpy ride, starting in 2012, and it has taken us to a beautiful place. The studio was forced into a slumber, from which it will wake up this coming spring. The Fork and Broom Press will be opening up at the new place: 31 March to …
This is me: Annette. I’m a bookish girl. How could I possibly not end up in the book arts?
This image was taken at a colleague’s workshop, at Heinrich Buser’s Greno Printing Office. I was assisting with printing at his Heidelberg windmill which was, I admit, a very special experience. I myself don’t own such a magical machine. My presses are all manually operated, and that is perfectly fine with me. I got serious with printing in 1998 – that was when I bought my first proofing press, a KORREX Hannover. I am into wood- and linocut, letterpress printing using metal and wood type, and I’m into bookbinding. I’m a member of The Fine Press Book Association, the Oxford Guild of Printers and the BK (Bundesverband Kunsthandwerk).
The deliberate demolition of books, libraries, schools, bookshops, publishing houses, archives to me is unpardonable. The loss of knowledge and cultural heritage thereof cannot easily be made up with. Much will be lost past recovery. People need free access to all sorts of knowledge to become educated. It is education that will give us the competence and strength to face …
