No Grit No Pearl Letterpress Print

I believe that most things that I experience in life are experienced similarly by others.

This is why my thoughts, feelings, and experiences inspire every product we develop.

I came across the phrase 'No Grit No Pearl' when studying the idea of resilience.

The words resonated and sat with me. The idea that, in order to create precious beauty, something uncomfortable has to be embraced feels like a personal manifesto.

Here in Cardiff, The Amplifier Press has been delivering truth via seditious prints and left-wing paste-ups for the last number of years. A perfect collaboration for B&B.

Letterpress felt like the perfect medium to express this idea. Every print is editioned and completely unique. The type is set out using century-old woodblock letters, inked and run through a press by hand. Each of those letters has spoken so many words, but are all now dissed back into their trays waiting to speak again.

All come certified by The Ministry of Truth – powered by dissent.

We have donated £5 from the retail price of this print in solidarity with the women of Ukraine. A donation was made to https://www.globalfundforwomen.org in advance of the launch.
