Open Studio

On Saturday 8th March we held our first Open Studio Day of the year.

From 10am till 4pm we welcomed people to try their hand at composing metal or wooden type and then printing the results on either our arab treadle press, adana hand press or hand block foiler.

ALL FOR FREE

We also had our linotype machine working casting slugs for demonstrating, or for printing

we were pleased with the amount of visitors we had, and enjoyed a great day.

Watch this space for the next one!

For more information on our printing services please telephone 01704 821285
