Welcome to Ruby Victoria Letterpress & printmaking

Here you will find photos of all my original hand carved linocut prints and letterpress printing.
A commercial printer by trade a printmaker by choice.
I specialize in original handcarved lino block prints with a bit of letterpress thrown in for good measure.
All printed on antique printing machines with that unmistakable bite into the paper that you can only get with letterpress printing

The work that I do is not created on a computer everything is hand drawn then hand carved out of lino then printed one impression at a time on my tabletop letterpress machine

I do not use polymer which limits me somewhat in regards to type but I love to use traditional methods in my printing that involve handset type and hand carved designs and I think this is what make my work totally Original and Unique to what other people are doing right now and it also meaning everything I make is an original work of art
I love what I do and love to share it with others that are interested

lino block + ink = beautiful teacups



I have been a busy bee today mixing up beautiful ink and printing new things for the coming Barn Market this Saturday,I cant wait till Saturday a new market , a new Venue and lots more new friends to meet .
This new teacup stack I started carving out at the last Handmade Hobart market and finally got around to finishing the carving last night. I hope you all like it I wasn't sure about the colour but it is growing on me, what do you all think?

    What other colours are you going to use?
