My goals with this externship were to see working letterpress shops in action, and to spend time learning more about the flat showcard presses we currently have at Saddleback, and the self-inking Vandercook #4 press that we’re hoping to get. So in March I traveled to Hatch Show Print in Nashville, Tennessee, the oldest letterpress shop in the country, and then in April and May I spent two days at the International Printing Museum in Carson, California. The designers and craftsmen I met were inspiring and generous, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to spend time learning from them. I learned a great deal of new technical and practical information to share at Saddleback. I also got to experience the history and the beauty of the artform of letterpress.
