Letterpress Taster Day

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.
What experience do I need?
What will I make?
You will come away with some A3 prints onto cartridge using the wood type collection, as well as some unique A5 postcards printed in small groups, using the metal type collection.
