He’s been working steadily printing Smock cards. Soon he will have his own private enclosed digs!

Jack & the Beanstalk

Actually it’s Joe and bamboo that grows in Pat’s magic Heidelberg windmill. We’re waiting to see if Joe climbs it.

Bill is also becoming a press farmer with a strong daffodil that’s growing like crazy!

Running Windmill

Posted on January 18, 2012 by carrie.valenzuela

The sleep machine is running, unaware it is being watched. Long out of production, this Heidelberg 10 x 15 windmill letterpress still runs smoothly & precisely with the loving care it has been given over the decades. If you listen closely, you can hear it breathing & purring as ink is pressed to downy white cotton paper.

Lovely letterpress certificates

Posted on January 23, 2009 by debbie

I was cleaning out my office recently and found my MFA diploma, so of course the first thing I do is run my hands across the surface to see if it (hopefully) is letterpressed, or at least engraved….but no luck! Three years of work, and turns out I received a lot of digital printing with a token engraved university logo (sigh…). That’s why we fell in love with these totally letterpress certificates we recently printed in our commercial letterpress shop – what lavish sophistication! These babies belong on the wall in full spotlight.
