I found some interesting type blocks in 'the store' that revealed their history of usage through their surface qualities - they obviously haven't been used for sometime, as they were extremely dusty. The pieces I was particularly interested in were these double-sided ones where someone has carved into the back of an existing block to create their own. It has given them a very rugged appearance!
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.
