The Art Of Letterpress

8 week course; 20 hours.

Roll up your sleeves, get inky fingers and meet like-minded people. Join us at The Armarie Room for a hands-on course that will immerse you in the unique art of letterpress.

This course is designed for those who are keen to explore traditional and modern letterpress techniques while creating their own unique artworks. Experience the world of hand set type alongside modern plate technology and understand how it all fits beautifully together in the here and now. Explore paper stocks, hand-mix inks, and print your creation on our vintage presses.

Led by printmaker Renee Hadlow, you’ll learn how the cultural heritage of fine press printing is making an impact on contemporary print today. Participants learn in a small, friendly group and will take home beautifully printed original works of art on paper.
