What would a paper blog be without a post about Hatch Show Print? I was in Nashville not too long ago, and I would have given my right arm to have had time to visit. It’s the Mecca of letterpress, and it not only cranks out fantastic work for musicians from BR549 to the Beastie Boys, it also preserves a lot of the history of letterpress. According to its website there’s “as many as 10,000 basswood and maple wood blocks, thousands of photo plates, and countless drawers of wood and metal type.” Imagine the possibilities if you could get your hands on all that!
Take some time to poke around the online store, where you’ll find some super-fun restrikes and monoprints.
(just a sample of their great work!)
