17.01.2022 Deep under the streets of Eden there exists another world, an alternative reality, where you will find a wiry man bent over his work, laying out type, handling ...leading, adjusting frisketts, and vellum, fossicking through cases of Garamond type, and selecting hand made paper, making ink, as if still in the age prior to mechanisation. You’re in Richard Jermyn’s ‘working museum of printing history.’ Richard has been been printing on hand letterpress printers since his university days in the 1970s when he and a fellow student wanted set up a press for student’s poetry. ‘How would we do that?’ we thought. We looked in the SMH and there was a press advertised, so the university bought it and it lived on the 3rd floor of the Student union building After uni Richard continued to refine and focus his interest on the earlier age of printing and the related skills of paper making, type founding and the all-important ink making. He now collects, restores and uses this impressive antique printing equipment. You could get lost for hours with this man, his printers and his manifesto which goes, in part, like this: ‘Let us now praise letterpress printing Which unites paper, ink and type on the press as in ancient time using nothing synthetic, but using pure materials direct from nature with no adverse effects on life’ We’ll let you know how you can join Richard for workshops in the future, and explore the rich craft culture, the beauty and relevance of the letterpress today, and how to operate in an environmentally sustainable way and you might also learn a bit about restoring lighthouses You just never know what’s going on beneath your feet in our towns! #edennsw #letterpress #letterpressprinting #luddites @artmonthsapphirecoast
