Also now know what a Pica ,Quads and Spaces, Slugs , Composing stick,Leads and other pieces parts that one uses while doing Letter Pressing.
I m taking a crash course on Letterpress using really old stuff at Dartmouth College.
Tonight was my first night,,,FAST PACED!
We (6 students) are making Cards.
I must say,"It aint all that simple"
I had a wicked time setting my first words cuz all the type is upside down and backwards in the case.Was very hard for me to "see" them.
Anywhoo, I have one more night next week to set up, proof and final print the whole card I'm making for me MOM.
This will be about as old fashioned a card as one could get.
Heres a pic of the proof press I used for a test run on one side of the card.
I want to get picks of me-self next week while setting and printing the card.
I think MOM will really appreciated it.
