Jan. 21 - LetterPress
I know I missed Jan. 19. See the last post. I haven't figured out how I'm going to make up for it yet but it's coming.
Two of these photos are from the Shakespeare Press Museum. What is the Shakespeare Press Museum, you ask? It's this awesome collection of letterpresses of all shapes and sizes on campus. It's open to ANYONE (so cool) and it's free to use. My co-worker is a volunteer there and introduced me to it over the winter break and I'm hooked. This particular project was a birthday card for my Uncle's 50th birthday. I picked out several different fonts, set the characters by hand, and printed the card (and proofs) myself with the help and advisement of my lovely friend featured in this photo series. It takes time, but the old printing process is an art and an amazing challenge. Can you say wedding invitations?
