A collection of posters created during my two-month internship at Hatch Show Print
Here is a series of posters I created during my two-month internship at Hatch Show Print in Nashville, Tennessee. Hatch Show Print is an 132-year-old letterpress print shop that has been cranking out posters "the old-fashioned way" even during this age of digital photography, Photoshop, and laser-jet printing.
At Hatch I got to use the shop's vast archive of wood type and beautiful hand-carve imagery to create one-of-a-kind letterpress posters. I hand-set the type and then printed the posters (in quantities of at least 150 and up to 500) one-by-one and by hand using one of the shop's hand-cranked Vandercook printing presses. Below are the results of my two-month stay at this incredibly fabulous shop.
