Letterpress Design

Spent a brilliant few hours on the island with Lisa teaching me all the basics of letterpress printing. Loads of tips and easier ways of working which will make my life a heck of a lot easier. Lisa is highly knowledgeable, a great teacher and good fun, this makes the perfect combination to while away a few hours putting ink on paper. Brilliant day and highly recommended to learners and improvers in the letterpress world. Will be back soon!

I recently purchased an Arab press and having no knowledge of how to letterpress print I booked a full day workshop with Lisa at Letterpress Design. She did not disappoint!I travelled from London to her Isle of Wight studio (and surprisingly the cost of travel was very low!). The day was more than what I could have expected. Lisa has over 25 years experience of letterpress printing and is fantastic at what she does. She is a great teacher and taught me all that I needed to know in order to get my press up and running. We also covered health and safety, how to mix inks, how to set up your design to make a polymer plate and then how to get a good print. Lisa also advised me what supplies I would need for my press and for letterpress printing. I now order all my supplies from her sister company - Lyme Bay Press. Which is awesome as she sells everything you need worldwide!I cannot recommend this workshop enough and Lisa too! Not only did I walk away from the workshop feeling very knowledgeable about the process of letterpress printing but I also felt confident enough to put my press to work. I have also gained a friend in the letterpress world and Lisa is so kind enough to be at the end of the phone whenever I have questions!I am so happy with my printing results and finding myself wanting to letterpress everything. Thank you so much Lisa :).If you are looking to get into letterpress printing for whatever reason make sure you book onto one of her workshops!
