Description
Two handcrafted blank-inside greetings card using 1930's/1940's fashion blocks from my extensive collection.
Need to know
Handprinted by me using two heavy original vintage printing blocks on a hand-operated 1950's Adana Printing Press in my private print studio in Sydenham.
I used two-colour rubber-based inks from Lisa at Lyme Bay Press and printed onto quality cardstock sourced from GFSmith.
I love the slow process of creating these cards and the pleasure of each copy coming off the presses to be dried on a wooden rack.
Size = 110mm x 150mm with matching envelope. Blank inside for your message.

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.
