November 18, 2011 – At the AS220 Printshop in Providence, RI, Colleen Ellse, letterpress printer and artist, uses rulers and a pencil to ensure that her measurements are accurate and that the printing plates are properly aligned. Ellse proclaims that although she is a free-sprited artist with a creative personality, she is also a perfectionist. “Letterpress is the perfect combination of my two personalities,” says Ellse.
