Lately I have been obsessing (you could ask my husband if that's the right word), but obsessing over letterpress. Not sure where the obsession came from, just one day I really wanted to learn more about letterpress. I've taken a couple letterpress classes at
Pyramid Atlantic Art Center, a local arts studio in the Washington, DC area. In the first class we printed on two Vandercooks. At the time I had no idea what a Vandercook even was, but it's a large flat proofing press. The class was a lot of fun! I loved it so I signed up for a couple more letterpress classes.
A couple weeks ago my mom went to a class with me and we printed small stationary cards for my sister on one of the studio's tabletop presses. It was a lot of fun having her come with me and showing her why I have become so obsessed with letterpress.
Isn't my mom so cute? She had so much fun too, she wants to go back and take more classes.
