Hello Meghan!
My name is Brent Holloman.
I live in Wilmington, NC and came across your post looking for classes/info and stuff on letterpress and was wondering if you have discovered anything here in Wilmington? I am a graphic designer and am very interest in letterpress. Please let me know. Thanks Meghan!
I just had to comment on how coincidental this is— I can’t help you with an internship or classes in Wilmington, NC, since i’m living near Boston, but I’m actually from Wilmington, NC and will be back for the holidays in a few weeks.
Unfortunately, I’ve tried to find press shops in the city {Wilmington} and have had no luck— the closest ones are nearest the Raleigh-Durham area, Carborro, Greensboro, etc. If you’re up for a drive, maybe you can reach out to a few in Raleigh and stay with friends/hotel for a few days to get aquainted with the art of letterpress.
Maybe I ought to pick up and move back down south given that NO ONE down there seems to have a shop yet, haha.
Not that it helps, but if you decide to purchase a press elsewhere and teach yourself, Wilmington has a TON of rigging companies that could help.
Best to you both!
