*Hatch Show Print *

Wow, so our first day.. This place is just indescribable and I think enchanting to anyone that walks into it. As you can see from the pics, it is a shop up front and the workshop is out back. It's a working, thriving museum, which I am part of and it's amazing! I wouldn't call it a typical office environment- they have 2 cats and 2 dogs, ha! Everything is done by hand, is authentic and unique. The first few days, we kind of got to know the shop and tried familiarise ourselves with the copius amounts of varying typefaces, from wood to lead, images, furniture (not like sofas and chairs, I'm talking letterpress terms) and everything else! This place is busy all the time and to put it perspective, they see over 50,000 visitors and tourists coming through these doors annually.
