women learned to print at Scripps while in school at one of the col-leges
in the Claremont consortium; six women began their print
work, career or hobby, at the Woman’s Building. Three of the
women, Susan King, Bonnie Thompson Norman and Carolee
Campbell, another former actor turned printer, all taught there in
one capacity or another, with King having the deepest
association.35
" Eight of the women letterpress printers were represented by
15 works in the 1989 ACBA-sponsored exhibition, A Southern Cali-fornia
Decade: An exhibition of contemporary books reflecting the diverse
work of Southern California book artists, 1980—1989. The exhibition,
which opened at UCLA in the University Research Library and
traveled to two other locations, was again an admixture of limited
edition books, artists’ books and designer bindings intermingled
with a fair number of student works from USC, Occidental Col-lege,
Cal State Fullerton, UCLA, Scripps College, the Woman’s
Building and Otis/Parsons. Otis’s representation was particularly
strong: a dozen works by students were included in the 80 or so ex-hibition
entries.
" By the time of the ACBA exhibition, Rebecca Chamlee had
graduated from Otis and was back teaching graphic design there.
(Immediately after her graduation in 1985 Chamlee taught Small
Edition Books, the course that Susan King had taught Chamlee dur-ing
her undergraduate days; Chamlee co-taught the class with Si-mon
Toparovsky, the same person who co-taught with King.) One
of Chamlee’s first exposures to artists’ books was through Joan
Hugo’s California Bookworks exhibition:
