Spring in the Studio

In the Studio this month we had quite a range of activities from printing letterpress business cards and invitations, to print consults and group visits, including:

A dozen designers came to the Studio, who were being  honored by Traditional Home magazine.  We explained letterpress and a condensed history of printing,  designed a lovely broadside in metal type, and printed them as a memorable keepsake for everyone.  Good lookin group!
