So I caught this from the folks over at Handmade Nation, and I can't stop watching this video.
In Two Rivers, WI, the Hamilton Wood Type Printing Museum stands as a testament to how print shops used to run. Dedicated to the all but extinct craft of hand carved wood type, the museum offers free admission to those who want to delve into the countless drawers and shelves filled with individual block letters of innumerous types and fonts. Occaisionally they open the place up to workshops where designers- professional, educational, or people with no experience at all can let it loose and print off a couple pieces of hand set type. Awesome. I have to go there.
