What happens in this class?

Whether you're an advanced printer or a true beginner, you will find it not only a labour of love but will definitely remember how it is to be at one with yourself, away from your computer screens and smart phones.

You may have a specific project in mind or you may want to come and just experiment, every level of expertise is welcome, and you certainly don’t need to be a designer, artist or creative to give it a go.

The workshop covers the following aspects:

  • Introduction to hand-setting metal/wood type & locking up;
  • Printing on Croydon…

I really enjoyed this Letterpress workshop. I had an amazing day with Juliet. The day flew by so quickly & the environment is very relaxing putting you at ease if you've never done this type of workshop before! Juliet imparted so much guidance and knowledge, and after the course very kindly supplied some guidance for some of my future projects. I couldn't recommend a course and environment that is more fitting to learning a new skill, I certainly will be looking to do future courses.

Had an amazing day with Juliet and David. The day flew by, and they couldn't have been more generous and thoughtful with everything they gave to make the day a success. I couldn't recommend a course with them more, and I certainly will be looking to work with them again.

Such a fun, thorough class! Julieta and David were great teachers, they went above and beyond. I'd definitely recommend this class and would like to take it again myself.

Your Teacher

Pixel Press is the experimental printmaking space of artists David Vassie & Julieta H. Adame. A collaborative platform for people of different interests connected to language and printing. Art studio, publishing house, classroom. We like to share what we know and have learnt with professional printers, designers & artists, we find letterpress extremely satisfying and detest the idea of seeing type being turned into coffee tables, akin to toys being entombed in their packaging, never to be played with.

Incredible workshop, beautiful little studio! Juliette was so helpful and willing to share all her knowledge, the time flies. Would definitely recommend if you want to start to learn letterpress or if you want to make use of their equipment.

Great one-day Letterpress course, David and Juliet were really knowledgeable and good fun. Small but well equipped studio, loads of nice type to play with! Definitely recommend.

We had such a brilliant time at the workshop. Dave and Juliette were perfect hosts, generous with their time, patience and expertise. They have a great selection of type and it was such a fantastic insight into the print process. Their passion for making stuff is very infectious! Highly recommended and great value for money.
