Description
A set of 8 handprinted A6-size BLANK ON ONE SIDE postcards made using vintage Italian wooden blocks sourced from our secret Tuscan type dealer.
Need to know
This set of ten postcards (five each of two designs) were inspired by a large box of wooden type and blocks I bought from Italy. The blocks are probably 100 year old and were designed to make a continuous border but i decided to use them to create some geometric postcards. Handprinted by me on a 1950’s Adana press using vibrant inks from Lisa at Lyme Bay Press on the Isle Of Wight.
To be honest they feel too good to send as postcards - I am tempted to make myself a set and frame them together as an art print.

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.
