EXQUISITE TESSELLATION Print
We made one successful larger collaborative EXQUISITE TESSELLATION Print (and one failed tessellation print on handmade paper) during the PRINTERS PLANET market:

Covering the paper and linocuts
with a piece of thin cardboard
Hand-printing with the Estampador Manual
from Barcelona
Touching up the printing
with some pressure from the Iron Frog glass barens
The first print on handmade paper
came out way too fuzzy
(however it might print better with a real press)
The second print on Kitakata paper
came out wonderfully!!!

BACKSTORY
The EXQUISITE TESSELLATION Prints are made from a "hat" shape that has only been known to the world for little over a year. This "hat" shape is the solution to the "Ein Stein" problem, of a shape that would tile infinitely without making a regular pattern. This particular shape was discovered by David Smith in late 2022. The video below gives more insight to this special shape, which we laser cut from linoleum:
