Letterpress is a relief printing process. It has a tactile quality, as each piece is hand-fed into the press and the design is imprinted onto the paper. We do this with thought and care to make sure each impression produces a quality product.
Our studio is home to a Nolan Proof Press, a Kelsey 6×10 and a Kingsley Foil Stamper, among other printing trinkets and equipment.

ILP is busy in the midst of holiday cards, but I recently finished some greeting cards, using some of my metal and wood type. I bought this shadowed type awhile back, but never had an opportunity to print with it until these cards. I loved how they turned out.
I also had a chance to print with some of my wood type. I don’t have a ton of woodtype in my collection, but I love the bold simplicity of this typeface.
And in other fun news, I’ve posted both of these in the brand-new Etsy shop! Right now I’ve got sets of 10 posted and soon will have singles as well.
