Letterpress Taster Day
Spend a day working with traditional wood type and metal type to create prints using letterpress techniques.
You’ll have the opportunity to use our wood type collection to create text and backgrounds on our Albion and galley proofing presses. You’ll then work with our metal type to set your own smaller lines of type and use our Adana presses and equipment.
The aim is to briefly introduce you to a couple of approaches to using letterpress and enable you to think about next steps.
You’ll learn about letterpress terminology as well as some history and interesting facts throughout the day!
