Keep it clean

Working with letterpress is a dirty job, fun and joyful dirty job. But there is no reason for not trying to keep it as clean as possible. I don't own the studio I work in, but I'm the one spending most time in there so it feels a bit like mine. And I hate finding it untidy and dirty.

For sure this is a studio at a Uni, and there is no news that Art and Design students tend to not care how they leave a studio. Every week I'm in the studio I hear complains about students leaving the studio dirty. Last week I found already "cleaned" rollers dirty in the drawer! They were full of ink. One student around asked if they were not clean enough. How can he think things are clean when I got my hands full of ink when I touched it?

Why am I telling you this? Because of the importance of keeping the area you work in clean is huge. At least if the studio is not yours. I hate finding the studio untidy and dirty. It makes me bad and I lose a bit of the joy of being their.

When I get my own studio you need to prove you are tidy and clean up your mess before you get to be in it.

Be tidy, be clean, be happy, make me happy!
