Extreme Makeover: Letterpress Edition ABC Designs a Letterpress Printing Studio With the Help of the Letterpress Printers Community

I was recently watching ABC’s Extreme Makeover Home Edition recreate another extremely lucky family’s home when I saw something that caught my eye. Actually, it did more than catch my eye, it piqued my interest and made me super excited! Part of the project was to build a fully functioning letterpress studio in the room of 12 year old Aariel Dore. Her room was equipped with a vintage desk to hold her hand operated press and space for her computer and design station.

Because letterpress printing is such a vintage art form, it was rather difficult to find individuals or businesses that had extra parts, pieces or presses that they could donate.
