Printing Movable Type

On 15 March 2018 traditional printing techniques have been awarded cultural heritage status by UNESCO. One year on many printmaking artists and printing studios open their doors and offer a wealth of opportunities to look and feel and make experiences with all sorts of printing techniques. Here at The Fork and Broom Press studio visitors will be able to have a go at one of the manual proofing presses and pull a poster sized print all from movable type:
