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

Printing madness and mess in my home !




Not sure if I should sell these as drink coasters or make them into tags I would love to hear your ideas on this

I can almost hear you all gasp in horror at the mess on my work table, and saying out loud" how on earth does that girl work in a place like that"? hehehe
I wonder that very same thing but I just seem to manage even though losing stuff is a pretty regular thing but I always seem to get the work out all tidy and packaged nicely.
here are some photos of what I have been up to today in preparations for Niche in Launceston on Friday and Saturday, and Morilla's shopping experience "What women want" on sunday
