Description

Wednesday 5 November 2025
14.00-17.00

Bring your phone or camera and join us for a one-of-a-kind event which pays homage to the days of silent film, and celebrates the unique beauty of traditional letterpress printing.

In this workshop, developed for the Aesthetica Short Film Festival Fringe, participants will work with our expert team to design and print a series of intertitles – also known as title cards.

We will play with fragments of speech, action and plot to create a set of unique posters celebrating the art of silent film. At the same time, participants will be invited to enjoy the beauty of our well-appointed printing studio and given the opportunity to film and photograph all aspects of the letterpress printing process.

This is a wonderful opportunity to explore the endangered craft of letterpress printing and to embrace the aesthetics of ink and type.
