@RayDAider: I’ll pass your message along to the folks at Hatch!
A Graphics Art student asked the instructor,
“What is the difference between offset and letterpress printing?”
The instructor told him,
“When a girl kisses her handkerchief then presses it against your lips, that’s kinda like offset printing. But when she presses her lips against yours, now that’s LETTERPRESS ! “.
I’ve been praying for Nashville concerning the recent flood and am so thankful that no damage has come to your wonder collection of letterpress goodies.
hire me!
Gives new meaning to the phrase ‘big iron’…there’s just some things that digital tech simply cannot do!
I hope it NEVER disappears…if so, it’d be a tragedy!
love letterpress
Wonderful video,can’t wait to share it!
I always stop in here, when in Nashville.
It is a great piece of living history ! Got my Gov`t Mule poster on Saturday for the Friday show(Thanks Cathy !). These people are as friendly as they are talented at their craft. Great to see them keeping the bussiness going, and in a “back in time” setting”
Hope to get back soon, Rick
This has me WAY too excited.
Awesome!
My dad was a linotype operator, so I got my first taste of letterpress about 50 years ago. It never ceases to amaze and hypnotize.
i think the biggest thing to note however, is that this isnt just how posters were made in ‘the olden days.’ it is still a vital, living, viable, and growing method. People are still constantly pushing the boundaries of letterpress.
i Love to see the old days printing.
We just visited over Memorial Day. The staff was friendly, the shop was amazing, and I scored three bargain bin prints that I absolutely love. Even my two young boys loved seeing how posters were made “in the olden days.” After spending so much time designing on the computer, it makes me happy to see people still crafting beautiful artwork with their hands. Brilliant.
wow, i love letterpress type, i want to try and use letterpress in one of my assignments but i got no access to one
Great little video, great big Letterpress. When in Nashville, don’t miss HATCH.
