About
For one week in the summer we will be closing the studio to our regular artists and welcoming in students. Learning in small groups of 6, students will have plenty of opportunity to receive one to one support as they learn their craft and begin to make new work.
Learn Letterpress & Bookbinding
A great all round introduction to letterpress with the opportunity to work on your own bespoke project.
Students will start the week with an introduction to the process and its terminology. You will work small scale with lead type and at a larger scale with wooden type and will make use of the Adana, proofing and Britannia presses.
As the week progresses you will work on your own projects to create a small edition of prints and posters working between postcard size and A3 posters.
