Preservation through Production at Hatch

I rarely visit Nashville, TN, without stopping by Hatch Show Print. It’s a nice way to be.

From the Smithsonian traveling exhibition American Letterpress: The Art of Hatch Show Print, this video shows letterpress printing as done by Hatch since 1879, documenting not only a specific, historic printing process but a worthwhile approach to heritage vitality. While efforts are underway to make letterpress matter again, Hatch just never stopped.
