This is our first workshop for a while to start to explore the possibilities of our collection of wooden type.

Learn how to set up and print the type on our Columbian Press No. 349  built by Ullmer & Son  in 1853

This offers the opportunity to play around with text and look at ways of incorporating imagery

Once you have done the workshop it will make it possible for you as a member to come in and use the type in open access sessions and develop further independent work.

This workshop is part of our MiniPrint Wales Project.

We aim to raise the profile of printmaking in Wales, and showcase the work of emerging and professional printmakers.

Funded by the Arts Council of Wales, our project will help develop the skills and expertise of amateur and professional printmakers, and introduce printmaking to new audiences through exceptional learning opportunities.

The programme will focus on the creation of mini prints, contained within a square area of 10cm x 10cm on a paper size measuring 18cm x 18cm.

Participants will have an opportunity to submit their work for exhibition at Mission Gallery, Swansea in October 2023, and all selected work will be published in a bilingual exhibition catalogue.
