LETTERPRESS PRINTING
TYPE & IMAGE
As I got familar working with handset type, linoleum, and polymer plates, and most importantly (of course!) the press, a number of fun projects are developed during my letterpress printing course in the Fall of 2019.
HANDSET TYPE WITH CASLON
An exerpt of a short passage from The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Éxupery is handset with Caslon.

POLYMER PLATE PRINT AND RAINBOW ROLL
The polymer plate print is done with Casey Gardner’s “Root and Rise”. The printing process involves from working digitally, printing on film, exposing and washing the plate, to finally printing.

4 COLOR PRINTS
Separating the art by color digitally and printing each “color” print on a separate film and thus plate leads to one being able to print in multi-color. Registration marks become a key component in achieving successful prints.

CHEER UP POSTCARDS
Cheer up someone's day with a set postcards that contain quirky quotes by artists and writers. Each set contains 5 unique postcards tied together in a belly band.

Lastly, I chose one of my favorite quotes from Roald Dahl’s Fantastic Mr. Fox and printed them on different kinds of paper.
