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

Screen printing at Ruby Victoria

Screenprinted wedding commemorative teatowels for a lovely couple from Qld who are getting married this weekend here in Tasmania.


Not really known for my screen printing abilities 
I have been getting quite a few requests for screen printed calico bags and  tea towels with my linocut images printed on them and of course the easiest way for me to do this is to paint them onto a silk screen and print them this way .
 

 I will post some more photos of the end products once they have been printed and list in my online shops :)
