Printing auf Deutsch
A friend of mine visited from Germany last week and I taught her how to letterpress. We tried to work our way around the lack of umlauts and ßs to print a few things in German.
Typeface Film and Fundraiser for the Hamilton Wood Type Museum Tomorrow!
AIGA DC and the Corcoran Design Department present the documentary Typeface tomorrow at the Corcoran (6:30pm).
This is a fundraiser for the Hamilton Wood Type Museum, which is being forced to vacate its building. I’ll be at the event selling my letterpressed items and donating a portion of the proceeds to the museum. Please join us [...]

Find them in my Etsy shop or at Present Day, the pop-up shop of locally made gifts at Pleasant Plains Workshop, 2608 Georgia Avenue NW, Washington, DC.
This Sequential Crush post on images of telephones in comics reminded me.

We exult in what we master and discover
I just learned that Anaïs Nin printed Winter of Artifice herself. From Volume 3 of her diary:
The relationship to handcraft is a beautiful one. You are related bodily to a solid block of metal letters, to the weight of the trays, to the adroitness of spacing, to the tempo and temper of the machine. You [...]
The Just
A man who cultivates his garden, as Voltaire wished.
He who is grateful for the existence of music.
He who takes pleasure in tracing an etymology.
Two workmen playing, in a café in the South,
a silent game of chess.
The potter, contemplating a color and a form.
The typographer who sets this page well,
though it may not please him.
A [...]
