From vintage wood and metal type to hand carved woodcuts or linoleum blocks, the possibilities are endless—and challenging. I’ve been fortunate to learn from the best while interning at Hatch Show Print in Nashville, TN, and working among Seattle’s finest letterpress printers at The School of Visual Concepts (SVC), now known as Partners in Print (PiP).
