Kelly’s affinity with Letterpress printing combines elements of every creative practice and personal interest that she has explored throughout her life. From an early love of books and the written word, graphic and industrial design, typography, photography, English literature, engineering and problem-solving; letterpress encapsulates it all. The combination of these practices manifests in a love of the overall process, the resulting prints, as well as the history and practice of printing and of the equipment itself. Since joining Black Gully Printmakers, Kelly has begun exploring the combination of linocut and letterpress, and the interplay between the hand-carved graphic elements and the precise type. She has also set up a home-based studio under the name of Hopscotch Press.
