Letterpress printing course
Posted by Simon Lewin

New North Press in Hoxton, London is running a five-day intensive workshop in letterpress printing for artists' books & posters. The workshop runs from the 20th – 24th July 2009.

On the first two days participants will look at a range of artists' books and posters printed at New North Press, and will then be given an introduction to setting type using wood and metal fonts to design and print an individual poster.

The remaining three days are then dedicated to the design, setting, printing and hand-finishing of a book - again, each participant will take home their own bound copy.

To find out more about the course, e-mail Graham Bignell at graham.bignell@talk21.com

As a taster, below is a film of Graham working at the Press with Richard Ardagh on a poster to commemorate the 150th Anniversary of Wilton's Music Hall.
