Lead, Ink & Press

This weekends project: Letterpress! 

I have been waiting 2 years to take this class and finally got in!  It is held twice a year at the Museum of Printing History and a family wedding usually fell on the day of the class!  But I finally made it!  We learned traditional letterpress practice with typesetting, lead letters, proofing and then printing on a Kelsey table top.  It was a ton of fun and I learned something invaluable.  Letterpress is a true art form and I feel lucky to know how to do it.





 Ink up! 

Checking the set - Proofing.
The Proof.

The inked letters!

The finished cards are being cut now and then sent to me!  I will post them when I get them!

Thanks for stopping by!
