I was delighted to run another David Parr House workshop. We folded, we set type & printed positive affirmations, words of love & fun phrases for special people. Each little zigzag book was covered in gorgeous Cambridge Imprint & other patterned papers. I wonder who all the lucky recipients were? We also printed a wonderfully romantic William Morris quote. #handmade #printmaking #bookarts #bookbinding #zigzagbook #letterpress #davidparrhouse #collaborativeprint #valentine #pattern

Introducing people to the fun to be had playing patterns with tiny bits of metal type is such a joy. Thank you David Parr House for inviting me to run this happy little class. And thank you to all the lovely participants who learned a little about letterpress printing & made beautiful bookmarks, gorgeous cards and boxes and a super collaborative bordered print.😊
