Awhile ago, I saw an article about the Moveable Type Truck that was traveling across the country setting up a print shop everywhere it stopped and was super excited to see that Salt Lake City was on the route this past Monday! We went over to The Mandate Press and tried our hand at creating our own letterpress prints. Mandate is an awesome print shop and the staff was so friendly and helped us each print the honeycomb part of the design on the Vandercook press, then we took them out to the Type Truck and Kyle showed us how to use a proof press with wood block type to finish off the print. If the Type Truck is coming to your city, I highly recommend you visit it! Thanks to April and my Mr. for coming with me on such short notice!

Thanks, Nichole! Sycamore Street Press in Heber offers classes sometimes, I'd love to take one of theirs too!
