Letterpress workshop

For our anniversary, Amber signed me up for a letterpress workshop with kim neiman at Studio 204 down the street from us in Arlington. We ended up experimenting a lot with a hand operated press and an automatic one.

We mixed the inks ourselves to make custom colors and inked the presses up by hand with brayers. Then we printed postcards, cut them and made the envelopes. It was a lot of fun, I enjoy learning things like this.

Here are some pictures from Studio 204 and the workshop.
