About the Maker:

With a background in London College of Printing and experience at De La Rue, a prominent banknote printing company, Gordon Chesterman's career has shifted away from print since joining Cambridge University. Despite this, he continues to pursue print as a hobby and has noticed a resurgence in the popularity of letterpress for various materials such as posters, invitations, stationery, and hand-bound books.

Gordon owns three printing presses, with one being a Stephenson Blake proofing press from the 1920s located at Little Ouse studios in North Ely, and the others housed in his home in Cambridge.
