Description
6 handcrafted interlocking red/black ampersand thick postcards.
For when 'AND" is the only thought in your mind..
AND NOW WHAT?
AND WHEN IS THAT HAPPENING?
HOW SOON IS 'AND'? and just 'AND?'
Need to know
Handprinted by me in my home studio these cards are a labour of love - each one is printed twice on a 1950's Showcard Press, coated in Lyme Bay press clear Thermo powders and then hand heated with a craft gun. The thermo melts and you get this incredibly tactile glossy clear layer where the sticky ink used to be.
They are standard A6 postcard size and blank on the back for your witty, rude or just romantic thoughts.
Some people love them so much they just frame them instead...
They take ages to make but are all the better that!
AND?
AND NOW YOU ORDER THEM....

My name is Simon Trewin, Founder and Chief Inkoholic. My prints, books and cards always start out with me scratching my head and thinking, “I wonder what would happen if I...." and then I am away!
Experimentation is at the heart of my practice - I love playing around with inks, vintage papers, wooden illustration blocks and historic metal type to a clanking soundtrack of my wonderful family of hand+foot operated presses. I also love classic typefaces, bold colours and an ever-present sense of how good prints can make a real instant impact. As you will see - I can rarely resist sprinkling a sense of humour in to the mix too!
Running through everything I do is my passion to help keep heritage crafts alive and to enjoy that sense of a historical connection to the printers, presses and ephemera that have come before me. I also truly believe in the benefits of slowing down, switching off and zoning into the deep focus that this process of discovery inspires in me.
In a world where everything is too fast, I enjoy nothing more than closing my studio door and diving into the rich and ever-rewarding world of letterpress printmaking.
