This two-hour letterpress taster workshop at Frankenstein Press is designed especially for young makers aged 10–16. It’s a fun, hands-on introduction to printing with type, with no experience needed.
Participants will be guided through the basics of setting wood type, learning how to arrange letters and words to create bold and expressive prints. Using a selection of wooden typefaces, they’ll compose a short word (up to six letters), explore layout and spacing, and print their design on our press, creating their own unique letterpress artwork.
This is a relaxed, exploratory session focused on making and discovery, perfect for anyone wanting to try something new and experience the excitement of letterpress in a short, creative format.
