Reinventing Letterpress

Earlier in the summer we got our copy of Reinventing Letterpress by Charlotte Rivers (also released as The Little Book of Letterpress). I've finally found a moment to share it! It's a fun collection of works by letterpressers all over the country and even the world, from small studios to big ones. We were happy to find many of our friends and collaborators sharing the pages with us.

 

Alphabet cards from Carta, Inc. - a fun collaboration of our letterpress printing with Angela's brocaded Italian ribbon.

 

Hand set vintage wood type cards by Kelly of May Day Studio. Great use of ornaments!

Then there's little old us, with our journals and coasters.

I've been a fan of our page partner, On Kamal, since I saw her work at the Stationery Show last year. So simple yet so striking. The curves and patterns in her cards remind me of what I love best about art nouveau but keep a distinct reference to traditional Indian design and patterns.

Go team letterpress!
