Скачать или смотреть Printing some small pink roses for National Plant A Flower Day (March 12)

March 12th is National Plant A Flower Day! It’s a day to start preparing your garden for spring.

For today, Jared letterpress printed an electrotype (copy of a woodcut) from the Bill Gaylord Collection. Bill was a longtime docent at the Sacramento History Museum and was a collector of letterpress cuts. He also was the person who trained Howard in the print shop 25 years ago.

We have a few electrotypes similar to this one in our print shop where there is a small mortised box on top of the image. We are not sure of its original purpose. This was printed with a mix of rhodamine red and opaque white rubber base ink (to make pink ink) using our Washington hand press.
