On 3.27.2010, AIGA Cleveland and Cranky Pressman held Cranky Camp. Cranky Camp is a 6 hour letterpress printing workshop where visitors are allowed to dig into wood and metal type, digbats and cuts, to make themselves a poster. Some of the results can be found on the Cranky Pressman’s Flickr page. Very cool to see people opening their shops for all that are interested. Thank you to Keith and Jamie Berger for providing this educational opportunity to AIGA Cleveland. You rock.

Letterhead, envelopes, business cards, note cards, journals and labels were all letterpressed by Studio On Fire and are all worth a look. Great use of both texture and color with their selections of paper including Crane’s Lettra Pearl White and French Paper Co.’s Speckletone series. Beautiful design and printing.
