Letterpress Intensive 28/10/08

Over the weekend I was lucky enough to take part in a fantastic letterpress workshop held by Carolyn Fraser of Idlewild Press. It was a great experience learning the ins and outs of setting type, inking and preparing the presses and how to produce our own prints.  Here are a few images from the workshop, and I have just uploaded a few more to flickr.

  2. Wonderful!

    It always pleases me to see the letterpress process being employed and, just as importantly, enjoyed.

    Keep your hand in!
