Letterpress printing is still done the old fashioned way from mixing inks by hand and using cast iron presses to transfer the ink onto paper. This is an invitational print exhibition that showcases the handmade nature of Letterpress printing in posters, broadsides and fine art prints. The artists in the show are a geographically diverse group of letterpress printers working in a range of print shops from universities to professional venues as well as in-home studios and garage shops across the nation. The artwork highlights talented printers who work with traditional letterpress forms--wood and metal type, as well as those who push the limits of letterpress by applying modern technology to create new printing methods and substrates.
