Wood Type Poster Printing
YOUTH WORKSHOP: 2 hours
Wood type poster printing for young people! Explore the process of print, get inky fingers and meet other artistic minds in this hands on workshop.
This is an opportunity for participants to use our beautiful collection of wooden type to create quirky designs and vibrant posters. This workshop will appeal to those with creative imaginations who love working with their hands and are keen to have fun with typography.
After building their own unique design, students will use one of our oldest heritage presses in the printery to print their work. This cast iron beauty is a lot of fun to operate, with a handle to crank and a big lever to pull. The finished results are always an unexpected surprise.
Participants learn in a small, friendly group and will take home beautifully printed original works of art on paper. Students are encouraged to bring along a favourite quote, phrase or inspiring text. (5 - 8 words recommended)

“I've done a printing workshop over a weekend and Renée was a great guide and generous teacher. She has a lot of wisdom about things printerish and has a very inclusive reassuring way of passing on her knowledge. And I loved using those old presses.”
