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

Late Christmas Pressie for me

oh the excitement I have been wait for this package to arrive from England for about a month and it is finally here .
lovely new engraving blocks & sand bag


 I really can't wait to get started on carving these block but they are so precious I think I will have a bit of a ponder before I go ripping into one oh and I need a couple of new engraving tools .
It is going to be interest to feel the difference between carving lino to carving hard end grain wood. oh what an adventure:)
