| Bio |
The Old Shebang is bringing the most radical technology in human history, letterpress printing, back to the local community this summer.
The Old Shebang is part of the worldwide movement revitalizing letterpress as a beautiful, relevant and vital link to the history of knowledge and communications. We respect the craft developed over centuries and are committed to that body of experience. However, we are unafraid of embracing new opportunities provided by new technologies such as 3D printing and laser cutting, following the example of Wai-te-ata Press.
