Buying a press

Community print shop
Although I think I have settled on the topic of letterpress printing for my final website project, I’m still thinking about the particular focus or angle I want for the website and that is the harder part for me. I’m also still tempted by another idea of a website listing and reviewing all the primarily vegetarian and vegan restaurants in Philly, but I saw that various people in the past in this class have already done this and I’m not sure that I have the time and money to try out certain restaurants I’ve never been to all in the next month or so. I’m also afraid it will just be sad to discover that there aren’t more in Philly that I haven’t already tried. And I just noticed that somebody did their website all on vegetarian hoagies in
I think I need to stay with my other initial idea of letterpress printing, and start to think more about how to focus the topic regionally. Something I’ve wanted to investigate more about letterpress is how to start a community print shop here in Philly. In Olympia there is an an amazing place called Community Print, a community resource and print shop that anyone can use for free (well, I think now membership is just a small monthly fee) after they’ve taken a short proficiency, and it is volunteer run.
