Flowers & Fleurons

John Christopher at Flowers & Fleurons in Brighton has a half-ton letterpress in the living room and another three-quarter ton beast in the basement, as well as tray upon tray of vintage wood and metal type in the house as well...

He says "by hand-printing using vintage machinery and type via a process long abandoned by commercial printers, I produce work which varies from print to print, making each piece unique as tiny imperfections inherent in each vintage type block are revealed".

Although John likes to produce monumental scale letterpress prints of the 'Shipping Forecast', luckily for us he has also been busy producing prints of a more manageable scale!
