Sweet Refreshment comprises a portfolio of six prints exploring the relationship between the oak tree and the shothole leafminer fly. The five primary prints were pressure printed from found oak leaves containing holes made by the leafminer. These are finished with hand set lead type showing the species name of each oak. The title page includes hand set wood and lead type, found ornaments, and individually cut holes. The entire piece was printed on a Vandercook #4 at Penland School of Craft.
