These are a couple of my favourite images from the letterpress sessions we did. After some initial skepticism down to the fact I couldn't see how manually setting type would be any better than doing it digitally, I ended up really enjoying these sessions. The printmaking I did for my ABC qualification at college was very time consuming and laborious, whereas letterpress was relatively quick and easy but produced impressive results. I liked the way the results were imperfect, as it gave each piece character.
