"Once we accept our limits, we go beyond them” Albert Einstein
Jacquetta brings some fun and quirky type setting to this morning’s letterpress workshop.
With no Z in this alphabet she comes up with another solution. A forward slash hints at the idea of a Z. Simple and effective. Oh the beauty of limitations.
Jacquetta making sure type is back to front and and not upside down in this case as type is set straight into the chase.
not your AGE
Jacquetta chooses large caps type for SHOE SIZE & AGE to make her point.
Jacquetta’s Motto
"act your SHOE SIZE
not your AGE"
Jacquetta’s finished motto printed on the adana 8 x 5 printing press.
Jacquetta was a fantastic problem solver and quick to learn which shows in her beautifully finished letterpress prints.
