Running late for the #apajokerswild… lockup without gravity assist for the platen press is no joke. #daredeviltypesetting #letterpress #jokeher #jestica (at Tacoma, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/CoI_Z2UvMW2/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Some serious daredevils from our class at @penlandschool, and @drawntheroad caught some great photos… but it’s #typecrushtuesday and I’m still swooning over the work that was accomplished. #daredeviltypesetting #letterpress #typography (at Penland School of Crafts) https://www.instagram.com/p/CfptcXKJjas/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
Same inks on Curious Skin Absynthe and Purple with very different results. #daredeviltypesetting #partnersinprint #letterpress #springtidings #hobonation (at Tacoma, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/CO8xbl1BHEm/?igshid=m221ggujnrgw
@svcletterpress is offering virtual classes and I’m delighted to be included (along with @brunopress and other printers coming soon!) __________ “Long-Distance Letterpress: Daredevil Typesetting” will focus on typesetting and printing techniques that move beyond straight lines and right angles to set type that curves, loops, and bounces. We’ll explore both traditional methods of employing circular and angle quads, as well as tools adapted from the hardware store for manipulating type. We’ll also employ laser-cut Daredevil Furniture and see how the sets can work together on flatbed and platen presses. Several demos will be completed, then snail mailed to participants. I hope you’ll thinking about #lockingitupduringlockdown (@yelladogpress stolen slogan) with us at Springtide Press. I’m excited to show folks around this place, and share some examples I can’t haul around the country for workshops. Chase the shop dog will be here, and did I mention prizes? #letterpress #daredeviltypesetting #typespelunking https://www.instagram.com/p/CAN3hVQB43O/?igshid=twyqcs6chpa8

Some great historic examples of #daredeviltypesetting which @ameliafont1 shared with me during a visit. So great they have been kept together as inspiration. #letterpress #daredeviltypesetting __________________ For #daredevildecember I’m offering free shipping on sets of Daredevil Furniture, more info in profile.

A few photos of circular quads in use. The first is mine, with chipboard between lines of type to create some uneven curves. The second is Alan Brignull’s composition, utilizing several kinds of quads both to curve the text and the form within a chase. #letterpress #daredeviltypesetting https://www.instagram.com/p/B56UhaqhbTP/?igshid=1hi3v0mdgqxub
