About Nicholas Birchall Cleeve Press

I began saving letterpress type & equipment in 2006 and this has grown into a composing room and a working printing office.  At present we have a hand platen press, an Albion flat Bed Press now completely renovated. Cleeve Press has a wide range of typefaces, fleurons and image blocks in stock.  I produce quality letterpress printing from my own designs in traditional typographical styles and also teach these skills to others at craft workshops. Link Cleeve Press Access to Letterpress I am a member of the Heritage Crafts Association and the Oxford Guild of Printers, we exhibit at various Events, Book & Publishing Fairs, Handcraft & Printing Exhibitions throughout the UK.
