Letterpress

 This week I have had an induction into letterpress, I have never done letterpress or considered looking at it in a project until now. I have been letter pressing throughout the week using different methods. First I pressed a quote using black ink on white paper it took me a few attempts to get the paper lined up and I found it challenging to get the bracket tight so that it doesn't fall out but over time I got better. I then decided to create christmas cards on many red and green paper, I created a card that says 'hope you have a merry christmas' and 'This card is handmade because I have no money' Practicing has made me find letterpress easier and more fun I would now consider using it in my projects as a production method and I feel confident using the equipment and creating typography.
