Working with collaborators on the final stage of our Tour de Lead Graffiti 2014, building France in type, and using bookboard & tape to produce smooth curves, illustrates what we mean by a "letterpress lab."
WE'D LIKE TO INTRODUCE OURSELVES. Staffed by Ray Nichols and Jill Cypher, Lead Graffiti straddles the worlds of a working museum and a letterpress testing laboratory. We each have a professional graphic designer's background of over 35 years. THEN we started doing letterpress. Consequently, we're always trying to push the conceptual and technical envelope to see what interesting thing letterpress can do next, looking for things that aren't like what others are doing, be it creative or technical.
of rather haphazard mailings of Lead Graffiti goings-on, letterpress tips, or to get on our Christmas card mailing list.
