Great to see a workshop in active use, but what strikes me is the image of letterpress as something underground and rebellious — names like militia and fury; the strutting, agressive music. For me the appeal is that it's slow and thoughtful. It depends where you're coming from, I suppose.
thanks for sharing, Jax. That was my treat for the day :)

ReplyDeleteThere's nothing like a film about letterpress to light a spark in our soul :)
ReplyDeleteAs for the messy drawer, that's students for you!
