Before starting the letter press activity we had to carry out research into the history of woodblock letter press. This was to help us on expanding our ideas and to have a broader view of this effective skill.
Below is an experimental piece I created using wooden block letters, ink and tape. I created a masked type effect by taping segments of individual letters, inking them, then removing the tape before printing. Throughout the letter press unit I experimented not only with tape, but with different combinations and layers of ink, different sized rollers as well as pallet knives. For letter press we were required to choose a piece of published literary that described a sense of place or journey.
