Reinventing Letterpress: Prints by Contemporary Practitioners

by Charlotte Rivers

Reinventing Letterpress is a lusciously tactile, desirable, take-anywhere bundle of letterpress work. Letterpress is in the throes of a revival, with designers and creatives of all kinds rediscovering the artistic opportunities this most traditional of printing techniques has to offer. The letterpress look taps into the popularity of the handmade aesthetic, and this book places this revitalized discipline in a modern context, showcasing beautiful examples of contemporary work, and profiling the craft’s most exciting practitioners. The book also includes a brief history of the craft and an overview of press set-ups and studios.
