We are supper excited to see this beautiful write up for Together featured on People of Print @peopleofprint ‘Together documents the past 5 years of giant letterpress printing by the People Powered Press. Since its launch, the People Powered Press has worked with more than 120 groups and over 4,000 individuals from a wide range of communities. The result is a growing body of monumental letterpress murals that amplify local voices and celebrate collective creativity.’ Thank you to the guys at People of Print for the feature — If you want to check the article out, we’ve popped a link in our bio 😊
