Wedding Invite Creation
We designed, type-set, and hand printed our invites on an antique printing press with the help of a wonderful local artist, Kim Maher (who has a studio and holds classes at Hot Shops Art Center in Downtown Omaha, https://www.kimmaher.com/) :) You can see our process below!
Sorting through the lead type for the right fonts!
Searching for letters!
painstakingly editing type!
Design starting to take shape - everything had to be backwards!
kim and rob trying out ink colors
mixing ink!
prepping the design to go into the press - with wood “furniture” for the white spaces!
Kim’s historic Chandler & Price platen press (c. 1914)!
Rob and Kim putting the type into the press! dangerous!
