The Pinyon Jay Press is a collaborative venture between the Department of Communication, Media and Persuasion, the Department of English and Philosophy and the Department of Art. Housed in the VisComm Experimental Lab in the Liberal Arts Building at ISU, it provides faculty and students the opportunity to learn the art of fine letterpress printing and to explore various forms of expression that involve image, text, or a combination of the two.
