Letterpress Go!

10 12 09

Took a letterpress workshop at The Arm NYC this past Sunday and it was super fun. It’s only 2 blocks from my house and now I can go there whenever I want, pay $15/hr  and print my own work. NYC is getting better everyday.

There was an array of wood and metal type. You can also get plates made from your art (elsewhere) and print from that.

Handset metal type. It makes you appreciate the art before computers. It’s REALLY difficult and time consuming to handset type, especially if you mix and match typefaces. I created these fun business cards on the C&P Pilot press. It’s actually really small and simple to use. I’ll own one of these someday.

Letterpress Workshop Stoke

I’m taking a workshop at The Arm NYC and am very excited to be hands on in the process of letterpress. I’m definitely a hands-on kind of person and too much computer screen time hurts my brain. Excited to use their facilities after this workshop.
