Jerusalem Letterpress, Printed Not Reproduced
A Bezalel Street atelier hand-sets Hebrew and Latin type for stationery, broadsides, ketubah commissions, and small editions.
Field notes
The studio describes a three-stage workflow: composing metal type, mixing and applying a thin film of oil-based ink, then adjusting make-ready before the iron press closes on the sheet. Its material constraints are unusually explicit: 14 type cases, two iron presses, and 100% cotton paper, with Hebrew and Latin cases positioned as parallel parts of the shop rather than separate specialties. The page lists commission hours and a Jerusalem street address but no prices.
