The studio is funded by Elyse E. Rogers \u201876 whose namesake grant provides supplies for the studio.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>LVC will host author Monica Prince in an upcoming event in the \u201cWriting: A Life\u201d series. In preparation for the event, students&nbsp;used a printing press to create commemorative postcards for the visit. As part of the printing process, students and faculty collaborated by choosing a quote from Prince\u2019s work, typesetting the quote, mixing ink and printing text on the postcard.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe learn about how Modern English came into being because of the printing press,\u201d Tavi Stallings, English and creative writing major, said. \u201cI think it\u2019s important that we learn this process because we know that this is how we got to Modern English.\u201d &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Holly Wendt, associate professor of English &amp; communications and creative writing,&nbsp;and Dr. Robert Machado, chair of humanities, professor and director of English, were the faculty advisers for the project.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re interested in faculty-student collaboration, and this is an example of that, where we see ourselves as partners with students,\u201d Machado said. \u201cIn this space and in our classrooms,&nbsp;we think about our students interests and goals, and how we can help further them.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wendt connected lessons learned in the classroom to practical skills in the studio.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAs somebody who is a medievalist who teaches about the history of literature and the history of printmaking, it\u2019s a really great reminder to think about where knowledge has come from and to experience how labor intensive it is, even with this relatively modern kind of letterpress printing,\u201d Wendt said. &nbsp;\u201cThen, to imagine, a thousand years ago, all of this knowledge had to be copied by hand, so what does it tell you about how valuable people thought these words were to go through all that process?\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Students interested in becoming involved in the Process and Production Studio can&nbsp;visit Humanities 206A on Fridays, from 9 a.m. until 3 p.m.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Monica Prince, author of <em>Roadmap<\/em>, will visit&nbsp;campus on April 10, at 7 p.m. in the Bishop Library Atrium.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Learn more about Monica Prince and the &#8220;Writing: A Life&#8221; series <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lvc.edu\/programs\/creative-writing\/writing-a-life\/\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>(By Lillian Gleeson \u201825 and Chris Timasonravichkit \u201928, staff writers)&nbsp;&nbsp; LVC students are learning old ways of doing things in the Process and Production Studio.&nbsp; The Process and Production Studio is a \u201cmaker space\u201d in <a class=\"mh-excerpt-more\" href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.lvc.edu\/lavie\/2025\/04\/10\/process-and-production-studio-enables-collaborative-learning\/\" title=\"Process and Production Studio enables collaborative learning\">[&#8230;]<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-13417","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-campus-news"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.lvc.edu\/lavie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13417","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.lvc.edu\/lavie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.lvc.edu\/lavie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.lvc.edu\/lavie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.lvc.edu\/lavie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=13417"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.lvc.edu\/lavie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13417\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":16284,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.lvc.edu\/lavie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13417\/revisions\/16284"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.lvc.edu\/lavie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=13417"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.lvc.edu\/lavie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=13417"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.lvc.edu\/lavie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=13417"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
