Letterpress Takeover #3

Len Friend of the Crescent Card Co. in Maldon joined us for the third St Botolph’s Letterpress Takeover. Len is the chairman of Essex branch of the British Printing Society and he gave us a machine minder’s perspective on letterpress and how it can adapt to survive in a commercial world. He also be showed a short film documenting the production of a book, from setting, through to printing and binding.

Len’s been in the business for a long time, we got plenty of insights into an industry that is constantly being forced to evolve.
