As some of you might be aware, I am slowly building a business as a creative coach.
Because of this I was looking for some inspirational posters to be hand printing for me by someone local.
Asking at my local Arts and Craft Society I was pointed in the direction of Type Tom.
Looking on his website, I very much liked his style of work so asked if he could print me some posters. But he said no, would you like to print them youself?
If you know me at all, that is not the sort of offer I could turn down.
So this weekend I went down to Bognor to his workshop and spent the morning printing a set of 4 different posters in my brand colours!
He's also made me a logo block so we could emboss the corner of each poster to show it was mine.
It was great to learn a bit about letterpress printing, before selecting the type from a wonderful selection of wooden type sets, laying it all out and printing it. It was really hands on, so how I came away with only one smudge of green on me I have no idea!
And I ended up with a box of posters ready to use as I see fit.
I'm sort of hoping I use them up quickly so I can go back and have another go!
