New letterpress poster by The Occasional Print Club

The second meeting of The Occasional Print Club (OPC) took place at  JMG – the letterpress studio of  Jonathan Kielty and  Ross Shaw – last weekend and we produced a collaborative experimental letterpress poster, based upon F.W. Goudy’s famous ‘I am type’ quotation. This poster was printed, in three colours, on a Stephenson Blake proofing press onto acid-free Zerkall mould-made paper and a small number of these posters are now available for purchase via my  Typoretum website.

The OPC was formed in November 2008 by myself and three other typographers;  Jonathan Kielty,  Pat Randle and  Ross Shaw. More photographs can be viewed via our Flickr Photostream at www.flickr.com/photos/theoccasionalprintclub.
