letterpress

During my studies I was lucky enough to complete five classes about letterpress printing, book binding and typesetting and eventually an internship at the lovely studio Volta Press

I adore letterpress printing. More for the process than the result, in fact. Below is one of my favourite projects, some finished works, and then the process.

accordion book / reduction printing / visual narrative — linoleum carved reduction prints in a continuous accordion book, displaying a modernised version of the sisters of fate. The one thing I would have liked to change is the last fold and elbow don’t match up.

Some projects, including reduction prints, pressure prints with and without stencil, multiple colour prints and ornament / line rule decorations.
