Letterpress Studio Tour – Ephemera Press

So I thought I’d do something a little different this afternoon and share a really cool tour of letterpress studio Ephemera Press as photographed by Ariel Nebeker.  Ariel’s images are absolutely beautiful – so I hope you enjoy this glimpse of a day in a letterpress design and print studio!

  1. Nole, what did you do?! Thank you so much for the feature. I wish I could take any credit for the photos – the A we printed for Ariel Nebeker that day is also for AMAZING, AWESOME “ART”OGRAPHER! I’m inviting her back when the space is all finished.

  2. Many thanks to both Tara for letting me photograph a little of her process and Nole for featuring this shoot on her beautiful blog! And, as for the ‘Artographer’, Tara, you’re too sweet:)
