Letterpress Week1

I was looking forward to this because everyone who had done it the week before said nothing but positive comments about it. I loved screen-printing at A-Level and I had a slight feeling that this would have the same level of enjoyment. It turned out to be alright, not as amazing as I had gathered, but that was mainly due to not being able to find the right letters and having to improvise, plus having to rush things towards the end because there was a queue to use the letterpress machine throughout the class. On the plus side, I'm so amazed with how 'old-school' the machine is, it's so cool and the result of the technique is so beautiful and precise. I love it. I have yet to come up with ideas on how to interpret the two words though, will have to scribble some thumbnails down on paper.
