On Friday, Sept. 26, WVU Printmaking students and I got the chance to tour the Carnegie Mellon University Printshop.
Former WVU Graduate Student Matt Forrest, who now works for CMU, was gracious enough to give us the tour. Thanks to Matt and to Jen Rockage for setting the tour up.

Serious squeegees…
Matt is working with conductive inks…the silver is a liquid silver ink, with copper tape, and two special LED lights…when you rub the silver ink and touch the copper, you complete a circuit and the LED lights up…
