The latest episode of my new podcast, the Tiny Typecast, is out. This one features my mentor, Jenny Wilkson, who started the letterpress program at the School of Visual Concepts in Seattle, and Amy Redmond, an artist and designer who is a valued and long-time member of the local printing community. They are buddies, as you can tell from the podcast.

I get them to talk about what led them into letterpress, which is a fascinating subject for people who are younger than, say, 70 years old. Both started relatively early in their careers and have spent much of their adult lives working in the medium and teaching it to others. Both love the community that’s grown up in Seattle and beyond, and both have helped bring different, new ideas to letterpress that aren’t traditional, from the printmaking world and using laser-cut elements.

We had a great conversation last year before any whiff of pandemic. Because letterpress is about community, it will rise again when we can once again congregate.
