MORE ABOUT YOUR HOST

Brian Wood

I'm a letterpress printer & instructor based out of Lafayette, CO. As a graphic designer I am drawn to the tactile, hands-on nature of letterpress and the paper products that are created using this amazing process. Please visit my website for more info. Dogs & Stars is small batch letterpress print shop based in Old Town Lafayette, Colorado. Run by Brian Wood, Dogs & Stars is a hard-working studio with a focus on hand-crafted, uniquely-designed letterpress printed ephemera. With a spacious, newly renovated studio, Brian is also able to host private workshops for individuals and small groups interested in learning about the craft of letterpress.

Brian Wood is definitely passionate about letterpress. He clearly explained how to compose our script. There was a wide variety of typefaces to choose from and unique carved printing blocks too. Everyone had plenty of time to use the press and print several different cards. It was a blast!
