ABOUT CAMP NEVERNICE

Laura Baisden cut her teeth on letterpress blocks as a young pup, putting away type and cranking posters for Bryce McCloud at Isle of Printing from 2006­-2010. There, she learned to love carving and the process of letterpress printing. Then, she got a job at Hatch Show Print and really honed her type­setting skills designing posters for all kinds of jobs­ local and international. In five years, she designed and printed hundreds of posters, redistributed thousands of letters and taught about 70 interns the ins and outs of letterpress printing.

With the help of Julie Belcher from Pioneer House, Laura has opened her very own letterpress shop. Based on the principles she learned over the last 9 years combined with her individual style and Pioneer House’s extensive wood type collection, Camp Nevernice seeks to create beautiful hand ­crafted products for whoever needs ‘em. Camp Nevernice offers custom letterpress products to suit needs for all things on paper using her own two hands and her Vandercook cylinder press.

Friends! Exciting news! I am moving @campnevernice back to Nashville in TWO WEEKS! Help me raise some extra dough to cover moving costs and renovations by bidding on my silent auction tonight FROM 9pm-12am! Here’s how it’ll work— . CHECK MY INSTAGRAM STORY FOR POSTS TONIGHT 9 PM Thru 12 am. If you see something you CAN’T LIVE WITHOUT, DM me an amount you’re willing to pay and you’ll be added to the live auction happening at my going away party! We’ll let you know if your price is too low to make the list, but we won’t be letting you know if you’re outbid, SO BID HIGH! At 12 am the bidding ends. Tomorrow I will let you know if your bid won and we can work out a shipping arrangement! . . . . Everyone understand?? CHECK THE INSTAGRAM STORY AND RESPOND TO A PRINT YOU LOVE WITH A PRICE YOU’D LIKE TO PAY. Great. This could be a logistical nightmare. But ALSO SO FUN. Get ready to see some oldies.
The Impala series has come to an end! I have never enjoyed working on a theme as much as I have with this project. Thanks so much @gillianwelchofficial and @aconyrecords for being the most generous and easy going clients a girl could ever dream of. 🚙🚙🚙🚙🚙🚙
I really loved making this series; “driving” the car across the country for the last 6 months has been such a difficult but FUN creative assignment. In a few days or so, I’ll post the whole series together, but today we’ll give this last one it’s due. Thanks so much @gillianwelchofficial for trusting me to get the hubcaps right (and for everything else.) . . . #linocut #chevyimpala #oldfarmhouse #impalaseries #gillianwelch #process #letterpress #gigposter #dirtroad #handmade #handcarved . . . And just listen to this nice stuff: 🤭☺️ Last poster of the series and of the year! The intrepid Impala is in the home stretch, and the old home place is in sight. Thanks to @campnevernice for all the beautiful carving, and the astounding colors. Thanks to @aconyrecords for making this remarkable series happen. And thank you to all the wonderful theaters, clubs, and festivals we called home for a day or so, and all the good friends along the way. . . #gillianwelch #davidrawlings #1965impala #theroadgoesonforever

here’s the limited edition print: “Train Ride” — the 5th in the series of Chevy Impala prints! This has been a lot of fun, and I’m always trying to print a few extra using the same blocks but often carving something a little extra that makes them different from the tour posters. #linocut #trainride #chevyimpala #midwest #freighttrain (link in bio!)
Here’s a little snippet of me, prepping a drawing for a block I’ll be carving this week/weekend. I don’t work digitally and while all of my images start with an original drawing from my brain, sometimes I will print (from google) an image and trace it— especially if it’s something with a lot of specific mechanical details (like a ‘65 Chevy Impala...whose hubcaps are actually wrong in this drawing...working on it 😂) then size that image and make some subtle changes to place it in the setting. Once I have the composition worked out and everything is the right size, I’ll retrace the components together on a sheet of tracing paper and then burnish the drawing onto the block (2nd video). Then, un-pictured, I redraw it with an extra fine sharpie and start carving. I’ve had lots of folks ask “how did I get the drawing on the block?” . . . . #process #linocut #chevyimpala #vintagecar #farmhouse #gillianwelch #october #letterpress #handdrawn #handcarved
If you want sweet folks, good food, hot coffee, live music, dance lessons, cold drinks, fun times and the occasional child eating alligator...Look no further than @the_tigermen_den in Bywater, New Orleans! . . . #letterpress #showposter #alligator #brunch #sundaybrunch #bywater #nola #cajun #twostep
