Part of a series I am working on relating to coding and information, I am experimenting with different elements of non-text letterpress to see how I can use these to create the patterns of codes and messages that replicate those we find on everyday ephemera. Using these wooden shilling strokes got me thinking a lot about scale, and how working with larger type shows up the finer detail in the scuffs and nicks which adds a new level of information to the print.
Here at the LEN blog we post updates, news, and tips from the Letterpress Studio at U.W.E (The University Of The West Of England). LEN sessions are held on Thursday evenings, for MA Multi-Disciplinary Printmaking Students and Staff: to to print together, show examples of work, swap tips, discuss our research, and support each other - developing practice both individually and collaboratively. LEN was founded by Angie Butler, PhD. student in Book Arts And Letterpress, at CFPR, UWE.
