second class

Class this week was hands on! I mentioned before that I wanted to print personalized stationery cards & envelopes for myself, so that was my first plan of attack on typesetting. Our class is 2.5 hours and it took me about 2 hours to set it up! Attention to detail is crucial and trying to find what you need amongst thousands of tiny metal bits can be overwhelming. I'm really happy with the way the set up came out (we print this coming weekend...)
Here are some photos!
