Letterpress Workshops

I have just completed my first letterpress workshop in my new studio. I am mentoring some people who are taking part in the Book Apothecary Project. The people who came today are all running their own projects as part of the Book Apothecary. The first part of the day was looking at text as art and we all made some site specific text based art installations within the studios, an old church, as it was rainng outside.

The afternoon took this work to inform making letterpress pieces – a mixture of printing tecniques from blind printing to debossing and straight up letterpressing.

Centre for Fine Print Research – Bookmarks

A few years ago I signed up to do a limited edition of 100 bookmarks. Time passes. Then a reminder comes and you have to pull it out the bag. Anyways, I have my 100 bookmarks ready to post off. Hand printed using an old Adana flat bed quarto. I love letterpress. I love the lo-fi way. There is something exquisite about the process, the marks, the individuality and hand craftedness that is imprinted into the paper.
