About

Join us for a fun, extended workshop, combining creative writing with printing and bookbinding.

We’ll begin with a collaborative creative writing exercise to create a short, shared text, before learning the basics of letterpress printing and setting it in type. Everyone will print a copy of our shared book, and we will finish the day by folding and binding our books, creating a beautiful and enduring souvenir.

No previous experience is necessary and all equipment and materials will be provided.

There will be an hour break for lunch, so please feel free to bring a packed lunch or take a short walk to one of the many sandwich shops near the studio.
