What happens in this class?

This is a three week Hand Composition & Letterpress Course

During this course students will examine the processes and application needed to create their own work using letterpress. This includes hand composition of metal type and the use of our Albion, Columbian, Stanhope and Vandercook presses.

The course includes induction to the workshop, health and safety, explanation of hand setting and introduction to the presses.

Subsequent courses will look at wood letter printing, two colour printing and the use of illustration blocks with type.

Things to remember

Given the age of the building there is unfortunately no step free access to the workshop.

This is the best thing I’ve ever done! Mick has a wealth of experience and expertise with metal type and the printing industry and is fascinating to learn from. I would highly recommend this course.
