I Love it 1

Our valentine printing event was a big hit! Over 70 people stopped by to make a valentine on our handmade paper; everyone walked away with a smile.

We printed our logo on the back of all the valentines with our big letterpress. In the background you can see my hands locking up the chase to print a valentine.  Each person got to set their own valentine so that meant a lot of lock-ups.

People gathered around the type case and selected letters one by one to place in the composing stick to spell out what they wanted to say.
