GJoin us for a fun, extended workshop, combining creative writing with printing and bookbinding.

We’ll begin with a collaborative creative writing exercise to create a short, shared text, before learning the basics of letterpress printing and setting it in type. Everyone will print a copy of our shared book, and we will finish the day by folding and binding our books, creating a beautiful and enduring souvenir.

No previous experience is necessary and all equipment and materials will be provided.

Live from Thin Ice Press for one day only. Design and print a one-of-a-kind gig poster.

Explore the impressively large collection of wood type at Thin Ice Press and gain a hands-on introduction to letterpress printing. Experiment with split-fountain inking to create a vibrant colour blend, then overprint your design. Whether you're promoting your band, your dream line-up, or simply want to give yourself top billing, you'll leave with a striking poster and knowledge of working with wood type.

The workshop is led by Mike from North or Nowt, who specialises in gigposter and fine art prints.

No previous experience is necessary and all equipment and materials will be provided. There will be a half-hour break for lunch, so please feel free to bring a packed lunch or take a short walk to one of the many sandwich shops near the studio.
