Printing, Gutenberg style

As we transition from studying the Middle Ages to studying the Renaissance, one of the important inventions we learned about was Gutenberg's printing press and the proliferation of books. Here, we experimented with some of Gutenberg's methods to print our names -- the hard part, we found, was putting the letters of your name backward - being a typesetter is not always so easy! We then drew some of our own printing plates, and printed those, with, (as always with this creative group of artists), rather lovely and sometimes unexpected results.
