The workshop in detail
In this five-hour workshop, David and Juliet offer a comprehensive introduction to letterpress printing in their London studio. The session begins with a welcoming cup of tea or coffee and a brief overview of the health and safety.
Participants will then learn all about the history of letterpress, and get the creativity flowing with some examples. Attendees are encouraged to sketch their ideas on paper, experimenting with different styles before a detailed demonstration of setting up the type for printing.
Next, learn to lock up the type and conduct a test print before it's time to get to work! Participants can create their own prints, experimenting with colour and shapes to bring their perfect print to life.
Throughout the session, David and Juliet provide expert guidance, ensuring a comprehensive and engaging experience for all.
