About
I began saving letterpress type & equipment in 2006 and this has grown into a composing room and a working printing office. At present we have a hand platen press, an Albion flat Bed Press now completely renovated. Cleeve Press has a wide range of typefaces, fleurons and image blocks in stock.
I produce quality letterpress printing from my own designs in traditional typographical styles and also teach these skills to others at craft workshops.
