- How You Got Involved In Letterpress Printing
- I started printing at a poetry conference in Tieton WA, where I set my first lines of type (from a poem written by my father) and printed on a Vandercook #4. I fell in love. And my love of letterpress is deeply rooted in my love of books and the printed word.
