Getting it Wrong
About

Worried you’ll make mistakes if you try learning letterpress? This lively workshop with our Director, Helen Smith, shows that error has always been a part of printing. You’ll explore some fascinating examples of where early printers got things wrong, and get hands on with metal type to find out where mistakes come from and what they can tell us.

£50. 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.
