MAKE: Blog: Letterpress Printing

Letterpress Printing

Justin writes,"I took a letterpress class last Saturday at San Francisco's Center for the Book, a maker-rific and tremendous Bay Area resource. I learned how to use a Vandercook 4 printing press and by the end of the day long workshop, the class had designed and printed 40 copies of a book!" Link.
