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

Changes

It has been a little while since I have posted on here loads have been happening, there has been a move to the  sleepy little town of Railton in north west coast of Tasmania,  a new school for ruby and I am back to working from a home studio instead of having to travel whenever I want to work :) 
Moving was all a bit sudden and unexpected but we got there in the end and I am really looking forward to having a look around the coast to see what has changed over the past 4 years that I have been living in Southern Tasmania 




 This week I will be travelling up to Launceston for my first Niche market of the year, feels like we haven't missed a beat right back into the markets !
I am really looking forward to catching up with all my market stall friends and meeting new customers and just having a nice time of it really, I hope to see you there
