It is Peter Chasseaud's project for a working 18th-century ‘common press’ in the environment of an 18th century printing house, with type cases, cabinets, frames and the compositor’s ‘stone’. Posters, broadsheets, pamphlets and books will be printed on the press, which will also be used to show the complexities of letterpress technology and the crucial importance of the printed word in disseminating ideas.peter chasseaudhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05076289127662441267noreply@blogger.comBlogger52125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8816611809809199414.post-38520538801724265282013-11-29T09:42:00.000-08:002013-11-29T13:09:25.992-08:00VOLTAIRE pics by John Hinitt<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color: black; font-size: small;">This is a
fantastic opportunity to learn more about the wonderful world of letterpress
from Professor of typography Phil Baines. Phil is a graphic designer and
letterpress practitioner, and Professor of Typography at Central Saint Martins,
University of the Arts London. He designed the re-branding for Ditchling Museum
of Art + Craft which was influenced by the letterpress and lettering of the
Museum’s collection. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color: black; font-size: small;">During this
master class you will get a rare opportunity to print using the Stanhope Press
which was used by founding guild members Eric Gill and Hilary Pepler to produce
work for St Dominic’s Press. As the Museum is closed to the public on a Monday
there will be unlimited access to the galleries for inspiration and you will
have special access to works not on display to see and learn about our print
collection from the Curator, which is bound to inspire your own letterpress
creations. Participants will be able to produce work on the Stanhope and some
of our smaller presses to take away. All materials for the day come supplied and
delicious refreshments will be served making this master class a real treat for
the discerning letterpress enthusiast!</span></span></div>

I can't believe it's April already, and so much recent work to add. There's never enough time! I've been steadily printing new letterpress items of the wooden Common Press and the 1843 Albion, and also just completed writing an article for <i>Matrix</i> on Hilary Pepler and St Dominic's Press. I'm also getting commissions for book and magazine covers (e.g. VIVA LEWES December 2011), invitations, letterheads and business cards, and these, of course, take up even more time. But people love the clear letterpress impression on dampened hand-made paper, just as they love the Tom Paine Printing Press printing house and gallery at 151 High Street, Lewes. Several times a week I'm told 'What a wonderful shop' by entranced visitors.<br />
<br />
The last letterpress book I produced was <i>BLAST?</i>, a large folio printed on the Common Press, which was shown last December by Art & Fiction in Lausanne, Switzerland, at their <i>Mode de Vie demontage</i> event, for which I also designed and printed the posters. Here are some of the page spreads.<br />

NB: Thursday is by invitation only. This will be a chance to see my new large-format all-letterpress artist's book 'BLAST?'. I'll post some photos here soon. I'll also be showing some other letterpress work, and my poetic photobooks.<br /><br />During the first weekend in November I'm showing a large selection of my work at the Oxford Fine Press Fair at Oxford Brooks University.</div>peter chasseaudhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05076289127662441267noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8816611809809199414.post-54489946505323319692011-06-16T13:47:00.001-07:002011-06-16T14:07:31.876-07:00NEW LONDON LETTERPRESS PRINT: SWEET THAMES<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhGB7w4gK7Rqt1Bl1O9DvpZakeFKumgWUPomyy8i_kEacao3HSPSHDrusoAmznc738hPcef3uUPS7BEqyuMul3OL3TkmIdnAJU5nkQ7qGNpVT3M1K0hhEA_CUKvRsRTNh2WfnoCCi0wTk/s1600/Press+16+June+2011+004+crop.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 302px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhGB7w4gK7Rqt1Bl1O9DvpZakeFKumgWUPomyy8i_kEacao3HSPSHDrusoAmznc738hPcef3uUPS7BEqyuMul3OL3TkmIdnAJU5nkQ7qGNpVT3M1K0hhEA_CUKvRsRTNh2WfnoCCi0wTk/s400/Press+16+June+2011+004+crop.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5618927038708357426" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4gI3rPLPxdNTt8y-qc7sCg_FvO_azP_X85KZ6TRPbaA0th2hg1I1oMYN28hEQOALM-3hzDL9W2OmPL_twvi086bdVWozknlkt2J3oFmq2APrT56Ujn3X0I2x10S9AvxIOZFNt20lIsDc/s1600/Press+11+June+2011+011+crop.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 312px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4gI3rPLPxdNTt8y-qc7sCg_FvO_azP_X85KZ6TRPbaA0th2hg1I1oMYN28hEQOALM-3hzDL9W2OmPL_twvi086bdVWozknlkt2J3oFmq2APrT56Ujn3X0I2x10S9AvxIOZFNt20lIsDc/s400/Press+11+June+2011+011+crop.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5618923159330055970" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">Here is the forme, and an artist's proof, for my new limited edition print, a typographical map entitled <span style="font-style: italic;">Sweet Thames</span>.

At the same time it was joined in Ditchling by a crown folio Albion press and two founts of Caslon Old Face type. The name of the Press was later changed to 'St Dominic's Press', after the Guild of St Joseph and St Dominic, but reverted after a couple of decades to 'The Ditchling Press'. This Stanhope press was later owned by Justin Howes, but returned to Ditchling after Justin's death in 2005.<br /><br />The press, and indeed all the contents of Ditchling Museum, is being put into store for a couple of years while the Museum is being renovated and enlarged, so I was lucky to be able to see it in situ before it is dismantled. The Museum is currently appealing for funds for the renovation and building work, and is planning a big fundraising ball in September for which I am designing and printing in letterpress the poster and publicity artwork.<br /><br />I am also working on a book on Ditchling printing to coincide with the reopening of the Museum. This will focus on the materiality of the printing establishment at Ditchling, rather than on the products of St Dominic's Press for which there exist several bibliographies.peter chasseaudhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05076289127662441267noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8816611809809199414.post-46482769768338458992011-05-08T07:45:00.000-07:002011-05-08T08:39:08.380-07:00ALTAZIMUTH PRESS & TOM PAINE PRINTING PRESS AT BRISTOL ARTISTS BOOK FAIR & IMPRIMERIE CLOT, BRAMSEN & GEORGES, PARIS<div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi15rws8J07PqQ5Ycq_4oOn0i5ZNhvnXlRWm1F5WSrqDlZxWN0JD_18-WqR6yhzy8xNJ3sSbns_c1qqwrn6o5hF-ybdEry0xzMhD_HPvWVlA3-e4JiYBakbj_UI_IzXw2tUMevx1Vc_y9k/s1600/BABA+2011+027.JPG"><img style="display: block;

The top one is in the form of a folding card, printed on Khadi hand-made paper. I just pulled 26 words out of my head for this. It's printed on the Albion press. The height is roughly that of an A4 sheet.<br /><br />The lower print is a composition created from the 26 letters of the alphabet, all upper case, and all set at 45 degrees to the paper edge. This is printed on the wooden handpress (the 'common press'). It is a bit larger than A2 size.peter chasseaudhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05076289127662441267noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8816611809809199414.post-52227440793813022522011-02-05T14:25:00.000-08:002011-02-05T14:42:51.071-08:00Columbian Press & Tom Paine Printing Press at Works on Paper Fair<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhx5A4WUjur_Mzj3FTFj7zDZXxKV75jkGV6rHaIW0FskwHfkauxBQc5O3ICTheYvgBrbWK_i2rDvFj_d0SBErGf6A4ZW3Kxn2oePnyWO3hKQbJr2qJkCmG5D83Kflm0RAwCpVq029xX_mE/s1600/WOPF+Columbian+5-2-11+004.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhx5A4WUjur_Mzj3FTFj7zDZXxKV75jkGV6rHaIW0FskwHfkauxBQc5O3ICTheYvgBrbWK_i2rDvFj_d0SBErGf6A4ZW3Kxn2oePnyWO3hKQbJr2qJkCmG5D83Kflm0RAwCpVq029xX_mE/s400/WOPF+Columbian+5-2-11+004.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5570335500188426882" border="0" /></a>This Columbian Press, in front of my stand at the Watercolours and Works on Paper Fair, is unfortunately not part of The Tom Paine Printing Press's stable of presses! It's the last remaining press in the Science Museum's old printing gallery on the second floor. All the others have been moved out and put in store.<br /><br />Printing is getting a rough deal from museums in London: no printing gallery any more at the Science Museum, the Type Museum closed indefinitely for lack of funds, the British Library printing gallery closed and its wooden 'common press' relegated to a corner outside the lavatories, and the display at St Bride not open to the public on a regular basis. The Science Museum in particular has no excuse, as it has huge amounts of under-utilised space. It's a great shame that museums seem to have abdicated any reponsibility they may once have felt to cherish our material culture (i.e. things and stuff) and to display and interpret them for the present and future generations. They seem to believe more in empty spaces (remind you of art galleries? Think Tate Modern's Turbine Hall as the classic example), which can be used for outside events and corporate entertaining. If the stuff isn't there on display, it can't feed and stimulate young imaginations. I remember when the Science and other museums were 'mathom houses' chock-full of magical things, and the wonderful effect this had on me and on others. Now they only show a tithe of their original displays. Philistines indeed! <span style="font-style: italic;">Trahaison des clercs</span>.peter chasseaudhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05076289127662441267noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8816611809809199414.post-58872064004549323492011-01-29T14:52:00.000-08:002011-06-16T14:13:27.892-07:00Happy Birthday to Tom Paine, and other letterpress work<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQQKuZS06N6Rrn1R7H0hyphenhyphenp5NM2SWqO_2vy-io4vopWIkBmCG3wyFrz7JPJ1kZ8VUmbDUTdX07vZAUR2DgDU5cnCItK6HWR0Wd-qoS7IjtyG0wgQe0ALu7QyHCn9vqRvHulp8RZUKQedgs/s1600/Press+29+Jan+2011+012.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQQKuZS06N6Rrn1R7H0hyphenhyphenp5NM2SWqO_2vy-io4vopWIkBmCG3wyFrz7JPJ1kZ8VUmbDUTdX07vZAUR2DgDU5cnCItK6HWR0Wd-qoS7IjtyG0wgQe0ALu7QyHCn9vqRvHulp8RZUKQedgs/s400/Press+29+Jan+2011+012.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5567745191868181858" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQ82UJp4FHVYrIqUFHVBaq-RdBvJePwGul0cLvFKp8tqU4fXEJinZG_mO9rCbQ84qzlJWeGT6NWiCfefu_QbJ4XJKIR9mElw7AVqaE5DVFBWX0sQQl1xjBUPTIDdPqYtYv5kMLngBSVeM/s1600/Press+29+Jan+2011+011.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQ82UJp4FHVYrIqUFHVBaq-RdBvJePwGul0cLvFKp8tqU4fXEJinZG_mO9rCbQ84qzlJWeGT6NWiCfefu_QbJ4XJKIR9mElw7AVqaE5DVFBWX0sQQl1xjBUPTIDdPqYtYv5kMLngBSVeM/s400/Press+29+Jan+2011+011.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5567745076340962066" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhme6zynISuYNacHMxk0ZWLnxuCQtWwYmVFDe0G-HnyqKYfDdtpT_0D9qBuOEAUG3bN8RutxpuJcfgUpDIvU12qp6zPEkimlvHC6gCaK3e1ubDpPnVdLnw8Etf6g2i90KdekvFb15hTJI0/s1600/Press+29+Jan+2011+022.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhme6zynISuYNacHMxk0ZWLnxuCQtWwYmVFDe0G-HnyqKYfDdtpT_0D9qBuOEAUG3bN8RutxpuJcfgUpDIvU12qp6zPEkimlvHC6gCaK3e1ubDpPnVdLnw8Etf6g2i90KdekvFb15hTJI0/s400/Press+29+Jan+2011+022.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5567744930460905186" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpcr7PkWwHMoPSIv7XLYL1IDai43ajwwPa7RsMqXWtPOiwaj83q24NbQT0dzLAaHd2kNeFamIHVSCcHKU4A6009vFZju_rBz6Fe_SotKmnH9flvNMOpcLHGXtdfII1L9TR8zhrK5eZRDk/s1600/Press+29+Jan+2011+007.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpcr7PkWwHMoPSIv7XLYL1IDai43ajwwPa7RsMqXWtPOiwaj83q24NbQT0dzLAaHd2kNeFamIHVSCcHKU4A6009vFZju_rBz6Fe_SotKmnH9flvNMOpcLHGXtdfII1L9TR8zhrK5eZRDk/s400/Press+29+Jan+2011+007.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5567744795724739186" border="0" /></a>Today's window display is an assemblage of wood-letter blocks: TOM HAPPY BIRTHDAY.

The large-format softback book, under my imprint Altazimuth Press, will be in a limited edition of 100.<br /><br />I've been producing the print on my wooden 'common press', a replica of an 18th century press, and as the press is a two-pull press, and therefore has a small platen, I have to pull and wind-on two or three times to obtain one print.<br /><br />The print is composed in metal type and wood letter on the stone bed of the press. I will have some for sale at the Whitechapel, along with the book, and also a few of my limited edition typographical map, printed in black, red and blue, also entitled the East London Line (see an earlier post).peter chasseaudhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05076289127662441267noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8816611809809199414.post-46349921677227697252010-08-13T10:28:00.000-07:002010-08-13T10:37:22.796-07:00New Letterpress Work in July<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiM_V1kmE_wJ__XFg0iC40gxLzRuZg-y-uhV9e4l-xpn4HkJis1RtPDLRZENFjkxCmT8uoFFxyJY72jyRIcrmAkTZGMAJtr9IJPFUVYoteSp1nJ_CssB0EDIahiVEVYDkxq7p9IrQijsYE/s1600/Press+posters+etc+17+July+2010+020-320x240.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;

I set the type on Friday and Saturday, and proofed it on Sunday. It's also a typographic experiment towards my East London Line book, which I will launch at the Whitechapel Art Book Fair in September.<br /><br />This print celebrates the reopening of the East London Line (which has now been subsumed into the 'Overground' system), but is also intended to preserve the memory of the old East London Line, as well as the London, Surrey, West Indai, East India and other Docks and the working class communities of the areas covered. Action by government, local authorities and developers (nowadays called 'regeneration') has, since the war, erased whole areas of the old London. They have done more damage than Hitler's bombs.peter chasseaudhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05076289127662441267noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8816611809809199414.post-29418179524590148832010-05-27T13:18:00.000-07:002010-06-07T11:44:10.741-07:00Rights of Man, Billy Budd and an 1843 Albion press<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXoNMxu0I2sGr7b3c9M6ZByhK-XKGPGkRa4iBtqHFLQYuTp0Gp0SamEEYru8b7NlICKKKhA0jhLewhMI-l4JzNX_YcS3vz_Kwwo3NmakPY60yjuzeT67_24yQ6qSi1CYQhQ7-wCMXS2ig/s1600/Albion+%26+Billy+Budd+28+May+2010+007+crop.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 387px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXoNMxu0I2sGr7b3c9M6ZByhK-XKGPGkRa4iBtqHFLQYuTp0Gp0SamEEYru8b7NlICKKKhA0jhLewhMI-l4JzNX_YcS3vz_Kwwo3NmakPY60yjuzeT67_24yQ6qSi1CYQhQ7-wCMXS2ig/s400/Albion+%26+Billy+Budd+28+May+2010+007+crop.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5476391240287011794" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZsn-jTkWPmzrOB_CK82DJfzVyQzslIHffZaoDzp_IW0oeiPSXkM0PMWMjqh4E9SzwmSgLpuocKMGZvARCykA3wt039s8oTwQM5xSBFNeBecUm4tS_1eTqKFLAVBpezgBGBiMVqik3EuE/s1600/billy+budd+002+light.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 322px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZsn-jTkWPmzrOB_CK82DJfzVyQzslIHffZaoDzp_IW0oeiPSXkM0PMWMjqh4E9SzwmSgLpuocKMGZvARCykA3wt039s8oTwQM5xSBFNeBecUm4tS_1eTqKFLAVBpezgBGBiMVqik3EuE/s400/billy+budd+002+light.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5476390662300552178" border="0" /></a><br />I've printed a new typographical poster '<span style="font-style: italic;">Rights o' Man</span>' (Budd's merchant ship, named after Tom Paine's 1791-2 seminal work) before he was pressed into <span style="font-style: italic;">HMS Indomitable</span> (a name which did not appear in Herman Melville's original story). to mark the terrific new production of Benjamin Britten's <span style="font-style: italic;">Billy Budd</span> at Glyndebourne. I printed this poster before I attended the dress rehearsal, and, even so, wouldn't want to change it much. But my posters have a habit of transmuting within short periods of time! So within an edition of, say, 50 posters there could actually be several different printing states. The one shown above does not have the red stars by Captain Vere's name ('Starry Vere') which appear in a slightly later state.<br /><br />I've just taken delivery of a small 1843 Albion press (see photo above), constructed in the sixth year of Queen Victoria's reign, which I will be able to use for printing broadsides, woodblocks and other relief work. I haven't measured the platen yet, but it can print foolscap (bigger than A4). This is now installed on a stout table in the Press at 151 High Street, Lewes, along with the big common press (which, of course, sits on the floor).<br /><br />Just got back from Toronto, where I visited the very friendly and interesting Coach House Press (two Heidelbergs), and also Don Black's amazing letterpress warehouse. There's an interesting exhibition relating to the Coach House Press and its work since 1970 in the Art Gallery of Ontario (AGO) in Toronto. This is a wonderful gallery and, quite apart from lots of great art (including Rembrandt etchings at present), there's a fine collection of model ships in the basement. If you're interested in naval architecture (Billly Budd, Wooden Walls, Hearts of Oak, etc.) this is well worth a long look.peter chasseaudhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05076289127662441267noreply@blogger.com0
