Poetry Fire Coasters

February 16, 2023

Letterpress, hand-set metal type and ornament

4” x 4”

This cocktail is one that we concocted during the height of the Coronovirus Pandemic, designed to be enjoyed while reading poetry aloud around an early summer backyard fire. The coasters with this recipe were created for the Spring 2023 NW Letterpress Network group exchange in a small edition on the tabletop Craftsman press.

Hand set in 30pt. Univers Condensed, with 48 pt. ornaments. The “Poetry Fire” type is from a collection we procured in the late 1990’s and is still unidentified, so if you know what it is please enlighten me.
