Yipee! After patiently waiting we found a studio that Paul and I can share. Next step is to buy my press. I am deciding between a Vandercook Proof Press or a Chandler and Price Platen Press. The Platen is much cheaper but the Vandercooks are so rad. I really would like one of both but I don’t know if that is going to happen any time soon. Here is a video of the amazing Elizabeth Hubbell working on her Platen press. If you’re not familiar with letterpress it is rad to watch. Click here to watch.

I love that she uses the old, manual machines. I used auto presses and cutters in a printing class in college. I love the sounds and interaction that you get from the manual. It makes me happy and enviouse (sp?) watching that.
