02.17.2010 Bookhou Letterpress Workshop

"Don't be out of sorts," she says.

There is a little brick and mortar store in Toronto that holds letterpress workshops. We get to pick our own typesetting, choose our own colours, and operate the press ourselves. I suppose we could print on any material too, but we just brought regular paper and some bass wood with us. In the workshop, we were taught the basics of letterpress printing and then we were left to print whatever we wanted. It was really neat!
