letterpress

I had the letterpress workshop today, it was quite confusing to start off with as it's all quite technical with working out the spacing and picas and things. I got given the sentence 'All things are delicately connected', i chose to go with 'cochin' font i believe, my first choice was 'Plantin' but some of the letters were stored away; i worked in 60pt and 30pt letters.

Here is my sentence ready to be printed:

and this is the end result:

I got the hang of it in the end i think, so it will be fun to experiment with type more in my work, as the quality of the prints are great, and there are so many different types to play around with.
