Description
Handcrafted BLANK INSIDE Birthday Card using type and graphics drawn from my extensive collection printed on a vintage book page and card with a cheeky ribbon.
Need to know
Made by me with vintage wooden type on a hand-operated 1950's Adana Printing Press in my private print studio in Sydenham using rubber-based inks from Lisa at Lyme Bay Press.
Pleasingly they take AGES to assemble as they feature a die-cut card embossed in gold thermo, a ribbon and a vintage book page all mounted on a card. I need a sit down and a coffee after all of that excitement!
No wonder they are so reassuringly expensive.
But, seriously, I do 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 = 180 x 110mm with matching envelope. Blank inside for your birthday 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.
