Today I just had an interview to be a studio assistant for a woman who makes items with cute little illustrations on them - items like pillows, sketchbooks, bags, ceramic things like cups and pendants. The interview went really well, so hopefully I will get the job.
Anyway, she has a background in letterpress and actually has a 102 year old letterpress in her studio. She said she would show me how to use it and I could play around with it! She said she would be happy for someone to use it, since she almost never gets a chance to use it anymore. At the end of the interview, she joked about making things for my wedding - LIKE INVITATIONS - and giving me an employee discount. (I'm telling you, the interview went really well!)
So I'm thinking, if she shows me how to do the letterpress then maybe I could even make the invitations myself, or at least design them exactly how I want and have her make them!
I really want the job... they kept talking about what I "will" be doing, rather than what I "would" be doing, which I take as a good sign. Plus there was a lot of laughter and it was really laid back. And she loves robots!
Here's hoping!

Wow, very exciting -both about the job and the letterpress. Letterpress is so elegant and you can do so much with it. Keep us updated.
