    0:18 looks like a fancy funeral invite at a contemporary art gallery with an all white dress code, and they serve you mourning purple cocktails in light bulb glasses with waiters wearing black robes and lace masks. Sounds so much fun, I'd definitely go.

    This takes me back to my art school days... I used to spend hours alone in the printing room, sometimes not even doing my own work, instead printing other people's stuff for them because they were too scared to used the machinery

    This feels very old school, and I mean that in the best way. The same technique could have been used hundreds of years ago and it’s still applicable today. It’s timeless.

    I was a compositor in letterpress printing and seeing this young girl using a treadle printing machine just brought back to me how dangerous these machines really are. During my 6 year apprenticeship I watched an apprentice printer operate this type of machine and was astonished that after 6 years he still had a full set of fingers! Stay safe Chelsea.

    Do they do raised ink as a printing option?

    • @stewballs7
      @stewballs7 9 місяців тому

      They did I don't whether or not there's much of it about now, it was called Thermography or Virkotype, but since the 'fashion' these days is to print with so much impression (probably because they don't have the skill to make ready properly) you wouldn't be raising the print above the surface of the paper, you would be just filling in the deep indentation.

    Why are the design from the west are bare and their colour palette so simple with usually only light colours?

    • @byaprylle
      @byaprylle 3 роки тому

      Because letterpress prints get more expensive the more colors you add and how intricate the design is.
