About
Thin Ice Press: the York Centre for Print is home to an impressively large collection of wood type.
In this three-part workshop you'll explore the collection to design and print your very own A3 poster. Select three large letters, get to grips with our powered proofing presses, and experiment with overprinting in three colours: yellow, magenta, and cyan – the essential colours for process printing. Each week you will build your design, leaving with prints from each stage of the process.
This small group workshop will be hosted over three sessions and taught by Phil Treble of Muttons & Nuts.
Thursday 27 February 17:00-18:00
Thursday 6 March 17:00-18:00
Thursday 13 March 17:00-18:00
£50 for all three sessions. No experience is necessary: we will provide step-by-step instructions and support. Please arrive five minutes before the scheduled start time of each session.
This workshop will be hosted at Thin Ice Press: the York Centre for Print, just a five minute walk from the site of Colour & Light 2025. This year the event, run by the York BID, is set to transform the iconic South Transept of York Minster from Wednesday 12 February to Sunday 2 March 18:00 to 21:00.
