Bio |
My name Jacqui but everyone calls me Jax. I’m a Graphic Designer working freelance from my happy home with my husband and 3 boys and if that’s not enough I have gone back to uni full time to do my BA (Hons) Graphic Design in the hope of teaching part time. Two years ago I got made redundant from my design job so I bit the bullet and decided to do my degree and that’s when I fell in love with letterpress and wood letters, I’m now totally addicted. I’m self taught and print on an antique Kelsey Excelsior 5×8, which I renovated myself, an Adana QFB and I’ve also got the use of a Farley 24a Proofing Press from my friend and mentor John a retired compositor. My collection of wood type is growing fast and I’m slowly crawling my way through the task of cleaning and photographing my collection which you can see in my Flickr pics.I LOVE TREES, TYPOGRAPHY & LOVE TO PRINT!
