This is part of my 'Christmas words' series handprinted on my own galley press.

Made from my collection of original lead letterpress fonts.

 

This a simple font with a decorative gold ivy leaf linocut overlapping the text.

 

An alternative Christmas card for those who love a traditional look using old type and old methods.

 

The card is left blank inside for you to write your own personalised message.

 

The measurements of this card when folded are 14.8 cm by 5.25 cm (A6 folded in half)

The Kraft recycled envelope has a sprig of mistletoe on the top left corner giving the recipient a hint that there is something special inside.

The card itself is printed on high quality artists card.

 

Each card prints slightly differently making them all unique little pieces of art.

Each card comes individually wrapped in a protective cellophane sleeve.

 

If you need more than it will allow you to buy then get in contact with me and let me know how many extra you need. I can re-print to order.

    All of the items on sale at

    No3 Main Street are made

    right here in my studio upstairs.

    I use a vintage printing press and have a growing collection of old printing letters and blocks that help me to create custom pieces of artwork.

    No two pieces of my artwork are ever really the same as the way the old printing blocks take on the ink differs each time they are rolled.

    I also use linocut in addition

    to the Letterpress technique and I am

    currently working on illustrations

    for an alphabet book.

    So although No'3 seems closed for most of the year, there is in fact a traditional cottage industry working quietly behind the scenes.

    My work lends itself to custom commissions. So if you would like to talk about an idea you have for a special occasion or a gift you would like making for a special person then feel free to get in touch via my email 

    contact@number-three.com

    Come and say hello at the shop over the next couple of weeks.

    even if you just want to have a nosey!
