John Christopher’s traditional letterpress workshop in Brighton is the home of the original Shipping Forecast print. Flowers & Fleurons produce limited edition prints and fine stationery using cast-iron printing presses, oily rags, elbow grease, freshly-mixed inks, lovely papers and beautiful vintage wood and metal type. John’s work has appeared in several influential Letterpress exhibitions.
