Overhead view of a “lock-up”, with type set for letterpress printing. There is a mix of two styles: smaller, metal (cast) type in a gothic blackletter font and large (carved) wooden type with more contemporary, rounded letterforms. The type is set in mirror image, so that when printed, it will read: “create music art dance”
Hand-printed letterpress typographic poster. The design has a mix of two styles: a gothic blackletter font and a chunkier, more contemporary font with a 1960s/70s vibe. The type reads: “create music art dance”
I had a lot of fun playing with this chunky vintage wooden type at a letterpress workshop hosted by Robert Smail’s Printing Works, a Victorian-era industrial heritage museum run by @n-t-s.bsky.social in Innerleithen in the Scottish Borders.

We share One body
& that body is the body
of the beloved
water in me
is the water in you
& in the garden bees, the celery and the apples
the dates, the rain unmetered
and the glaciers. YA) the glaciers melting

Overprinted in 8 Line Gothic (a mix of Hamilton and mystery type) are Piggy’s last words from Lord of the Flies. Posting today on #woodtypewednesday, but thinking about the anniversary of January 6 (and so much more).

It was lovely to mix up with Type&Faces folks in London yesterday — I gave a talk and entertained them with live calligraphy demo 👋
Big city, young talents, bright community

14 line wood type. Well used, missing W-X-Y-Z ... but so nice.

You take your letters from behind the screen to the real world and suddenly you're no longer allowed that luxury of negative side bearings or negative kerning!
Only positive! 🫣

I haven't spotted letterpress print artists here in my friends list (as yet!), but if you know some — tell them that my Amalta is now available as a real wood type!
Mark McKellier will cut it in sets required.

Photo of four lines of large wood type locked up in the bed of a proofing press.
Last Thursday I cleaned the gear racks of our VanderCook proofing press. Then I refined the letter and word spacing of this poster I'm working on. Picture taken before making those refinements. 🙃

There was a beautiful moment printing PEACE over waves (made from bamboo by Columbia Gorge Book Arts). Taking a ghost print revealed the waves left on each letter, fragile and echoing.

This stuff is still working just fine.
Things that work ... without upgrades, rebooting, new parts [well sometimes], internet wi-fi cables & power. #Education necessary.

I’ve been learning how to make #letterpress ink from #earthpigments and laked botanicals. It’s taken some time! Now working on a concertina artist book with #woodtype and #metaltype. The earth pigments come from my garden and local beaches, & (so far) #lakepigments from onion skins and blackberries

Introducing ‘Peglin’
Introducing ‘Peglin’ - an ornamental typeface inspired by the shape of a washing line peg!
Will be doing some test cuts next week to see how small I can go - I’m hoping for 8 line 🤞

When the time comes to test print, it seems like a shame not to print some other fun stuff at the same time. Making sense of the wood type in my collection is somewhere on the list of priorities, but toward the bottom. No matter. It’ll happen someday.
