Hi Jenny,
Might you be able to do a video on printing wooden letter press? For example, how to lay them out and keep them together and also how to emboss woodblock/ letterpress without ink?
Thankyou

Brilliant thanks!! Will do! Quick answer is to use a jig to hold letters together and use thicker runners on the press than your letters and then pack with pack paper to get the pressure just right. And soak your paper for a great emboss with no ink you will get amazing results 😀
