In the September workshop we hosted Melissa of Wedding Obsession and her friend Ashley who came all the way from Edmonton just to learn letterpress! They exercised great patience in hand-setting their bugs and locked up like experts in one shot. The plate printing went as smoothly as we could have hoped – registration adjustment, roller alignment, rail balancing and voilĂ – perfection! Now Melissa and Ashley can say they've learned the basics (and a few intricacies) of letterpress in theory and practice.
Hand-set type – Helvetica & Murray Hill – all locked up.
Perfect impression.
A cheerful cardinal.
Ashley & Melissa showing off the fruits of their efforts!
