Welcoming letterpress printers of all experience levels and specializations: from commercial printers to fine-press printers, zine makers to retail stationers. Ladies of Letterpress, founded in 2009 by Kseniya Thomas of Thomas-Printers and Jessica White of Heroes and Criminals Press, provides a community for the many new letterpress printers starting up every year. Members come together online to learn from one another, share resources and ideas, and at the same time keep letterpress a thriving, exciting and multifaceted art and craft.
With over 400 members (most of whom have heard about LofL through word-of-mouth, blog or Twitter), Ladies of Letterpress is growing steadily and plans to introduce many new programs by and for its members; this spring will mark the first annual Ladies of Letterpress scholarship award to a member looking to expand her printing skills, and will occasion the first joint exhibit of members at the National Stationery Show in New York.
