How letterpress printing is created

Letterpress printing has experienced a resurgence in popularity over the last few years, as artisans have turned to it as an expressive way to make small runs of printed materials. Letterpress printing is fairly flexible, and allows for a wide range of designs and colors which makes for some truly beautiful printed art.

This video from Egg Press (who we previously featured in an Inspiration Friday post on letterpress printing) celebrates 10 years of cranking out gorgeous hand designed and printed stationary. Filmed on location in Egg Press's studios in Portland, OR, "Egg Press Work and Whirl" gives a fascinating view into how letterpress printing is done.
