Join Green Maker Initiative Member, Princetown Press to learn the heritage craft of letter press.
Learn the traditional art of Letterpress printing. It's a type of relief printing where designs are created by selecting and arranging individual metal and wooden letters by hand and then printing the design in a printing press. In this workshop, you will learn how to set and print type using endangered heritage craft skills. You will come away with two unique posters that you've designed and printed yourself on two different hand-powered presses, each with their own inking technique.
All materials will be provided, please bring your own refreshments.
Spaces are only available for 14-18 year olds.
Generously, fully funded by The D'Oyly Carte Charitable Trust, ensuring that all places on this workshop are free!
