Gutenberg’s Greatest Hit: Hammerpress

Producer Tony Ladesich profiles the letterpress design studio Hammerpress  in a piece called "Such Subtle Beauty."

Finally this week we take a modern spin on a vintage art form. Head with us inside the craft-tastic world of Hammerpress, a letterpress, print and design studio in Kansas City’s crossroads neighborhood.

Producer Tony Ladesich captures artist Brady Vest’s handiwork as he brings us into the meticiculous and exacting world of typography.

You can see the work of Hammerpress for yourself this Friday night as part of the Crossroads First Fridays event. Hammerpress is located at 110 Southwest Boulevard in KCMO.
