Outside India Mill in Darwen, there is an old printing machine originally used in the mill. (I know - I visited there in the early 70s!) This is part of the foam on one of the rollers which has been affected by the elements and time.
On Monday 18 May 2015 I attended a one day workshop on letterpress printing. This was a ‘surprise’ present for my birthday in April but because the company, www.typoretum.co.uk only run courses to a set timetable, it was a month or so later than my actual birthday.
Based in Coggleshall, Essex, the workshop allowed me to re-visit my past. My first job, on leaving school in April 1962, was as an apprentice compositor for a Birmingham based company, Buckler & Webb Ltd. So it was fun to go back to ‘play’ with proper type and all of the other stuff that goes with it, chases, presses, thins, mids and thicks, furniture, coins, leading (pronounced ledding) and whole host of stuff that comes with letterpress typography. Oh yes, and composing (or setting) sticks.
Letterpress printing has a measurement system of its own based on ‘pica’ or pica’s to be more precise. One inch (almost) equals seventy-two points. But the difference when setting type is important, but it’s close enough.
The owner of the business, Justin, and his colleague Rob, gave us an insight into the world of movable type and we ended up printing out our efforts for posterity.
My two other workshop colleagues were Scott, and lovely lady from Louisiana but now residing in Wandsworth, and Karen, also from Wandsworth. Some of the photographs in this album are of them both, and also a few of Justin and Rob.
We were provided with lunch by Justin’s wife, and delicious it was too. The ‘hot’ savoury scones went perfectly with the vegetarian thick multi-faceted soup!
As for the course; well, I had forgotten lots about letterpress printing but it came back to me slowly. On hand to help were the ‘experts’, and I did achieve an end result. Oddly, I took photographs of Karen and Scott’s worthy prints, but not my own. But I can remedy that when I add a picture of it later to this album!
A fun day, with nice people and it was a totally enjoyable experience. More on this course can be found here:

Nikon D810 HDR Photos Dr. Elliot McGucken Fine Art Photography! For Los Angeles Fine Art Gallery Show! Printing on Fjui-Chrystal Archival Paper and front-mounting to acrylic!
Will be busy printing and framing in nice large, matted formats and frames and museum glass! Five of these photos will be printed on 40" x 60" floating wall mounted metal sheets! I think I know which--will share photos of the photos hanging on the walls!
And I am mounting some on plexiglass/acryllic--front mounting them! Some I am printing on glossy fuji-crystal archival paper too, and then front mounting 40"x60" versions to plexiglass--will send photos!
The secret to HDR photography is that you want people to say, "Woe dude--that's unreal!" And not, "Dude--that's not real!" "Unreal" is the word they use when they're trying to figure out the photo--what makes it cool--is it a photo? Is it painted? How'd it come to be--how'd you bend the light that way? "That's not real," is what they say if you have the saturation/HDR/ etc. turned up too high. :)
Some (almost) final edits for my Los Angeles Gallery Show! Printing them on metallic paper at 13" x 19" and mounting and framing them on a 4mm 18x24 white mat and 2" dark wood frame. Also printing some 40" x 70" which is over three feet by five feet! Wish you all could come (and hang out with the goddesses)!

This is the printing block that the previous halftones were printed from (see accompanying photos). The plate is attached to a wood block to make it type high. It's difficult to see the positive image when looking at this reverse one but I am pleased with the results. Oh, the highlight on the cross is the above light fixture, not miraculous!
