Hi very interesred in reconnecting into printing. I did some printing in jr high and high school and into my twenties. Would love to volunteer some time, learn etc… Hope to hear from you.

Still here. Be glad to tutor and show you the way of LP. Get in touch and we will go from there.

Thanks to all who are involved in this ponderous task. Keeping letterpress alive is so much more than just the printing.
It is the way we built societies and created our own histories. In the middle of the 15th Century in Western Europe, it was Johannes Gutenburg, a German leviathan who changed the entire complexion of printed information. And now, it is up to those of us left who are dedicated to antiquated printing, to carry on as much as is possible, this generative of all human progress. Many thanks again.
