Letter Press

Is probably my favorite form of expression, as far as typography goes.I had never used letter press before, yet i did attempt to make my own at a-level and they were quite successful although my hands were ripped to shreds from carving letters out of wood. The effect that you get from then though is so unique, something that you could never create on photoshop or illustrator. A lot of these skills are vanishing and being replaced by technology. My opinion is that their just lazy, would much prefer to sit in front of a laptop that to get out their and experience artistic forms hands on. When using a technique such a letter press, the letters speak to you, from picking letters and inks and things going wrong you create something truly unique and imperfect.
