WeeWoodie Rembrandt Press
Bill Ritchie's comment: At the time of a bookseller's show in Seattle, Christopher's friend Paul stopped in at our Mini Art Gallery and saw the presses. Christopher thought that a WeeWoodie Rembrandt Press would be a good addition to his gallery, Old Master Prints, so he ordered a kit.
Specifications: Made in 2014. The DIY WeeWoodie Rembrandt Press is a model the 17th C. press used by Rembrandt, pre-cut and drilled for easy assembly and prints intaglio and relief blocks. A pre-carved relief block and felt blankets. See the 20-page comical user manual which comes with the press - click here. Does not include ink, paper, or printing inks.
