After researching letterpress I have discovered that it is not just produced using wood block type in a set space. I found a website called Blush publishing and they use another method which allows them to produce images and other designs. I think that I could really enjoy producing work with this process. I would like to experiment with embossing the letterpress design.
Traditional letterpress
I have tried this at Vernon Street and really enjoyed the process, I have wanted to experiment with it more but the machine has been moved to Blenheim and is not yet available for use.
Do it yourself letterpress
I think I would like to purchase a machine like this and experiment with the process myself.
