Surface Now #1

An exhibition of contemporary letterpress art from North America
7th April to 23rd June 2017
​
Hot Bed Press Printmakers' Studio
The Casketworks, Cow Lane, Salford, M5 4NB, UK

SURFACE NOW was an exhibition of contemporary letterpress art from North America, collected on my travels across the USA over the past three years. The exhibition highlights the variety and excellence of work being produced using primarily metal and wood type. It is but a small sample of the multitude of printmakers and artists currently using letterpress as their primary printmaking medium.

The studios, shops and artists included are below. Thank you to all of them for allowing us to include their work in this show.
