Award-winning Master Printer, Graham Judd, will lead two half-day Letterpress Xmas Card Workshops on Friday, 9th and Saturday, 10th December before The Museum's Xmas Fair (1-4pm). Participants will choose designs from a range of blocks, metal and wood type, linotype slugs, photopolymer plates and stocks to print 50 A6 folded personalised cards supplied with matching envelopes. A range of printing presses will be used, including a Vandercook and an Albion. This workshop is the perfect introduction to the techniques of letterpress printing. For those who have done it before, it's a chance to explore new things and try out the presses. A more extensive full-day class will be held on Sunday 11th.
