AIGA Studio Tour

Last Friday, the AIGA Detroit, the professional association for design, came by the Elevated Press/Elevated Works studios for a little visit.  The group was touring two other professional design studios in the area that day, and we were thrilled to be a part of the tour!  

We talked a lot about the design to print process, the types of printing plates and moveable type used in letterpress printing, and the beautiful old machines that print it.  I even did a quick little demo on the C&P press using some wooden type, that spelled "AIGA DETROIT".

Thanks to everyone that came out for the visit!
