Helen Ingham

Helen Ingham began using letterpress in 2002, having developed an interest in typography and mid-century graphics through an earlier career as a musician. She honed her skills as an intern for Hatch Showprint, a letterpress poster printer in Nashville, USA. In 2005 she completed an MA in Communication Design at Central St Martin’s, having used letterpress throughout the course in a largely digital environment. Her vibrant text and image work is produced in her Bedfordshire workshop using vintage printing presses, hand rendered and cut lino-block and an extensive and growing collection of wood and metal type.
