Meet Pearl, my new letterpress! She’s a Golding Pearl No. 11 Improved 7×11 press. Isn’t she a beauty? I purchased her from the lovely Sarah of Haute Papier. Yesterday was spent moving her from Georgetown to her new home in Bethesda, right next to my record player. (It is so stressful moving a letterpress!) I have to get a few more supplies before I can get started printing with her, but I can’t wait!
