If you have an interest in the ins and outs of letterpress printing, if you have your own letterpress business and are interesting in talking shop with other letterpress owners, or if you’re a letterpress lover (like me!) who just wants to know more about the process, then you’ll want to check out Ladies of Letterpress, a new organization created to foster a “dialogue and camaraderie among women printers”.
Ladies of Letterpress has a blog that features posts on sourcing materials, equipment, and general goings-on in the letterpress community. They also have a growing community that features a forum and blogs from the individual members. Lots of wonderful independent shops have already joined, with more coming on board all of the time. I’m really looking forward to seeing where this community goes!
