Letterspace Community Interest Company

We currently support a Community Interest Company, Letterspace CIC whose goal is to preserve and promote Letterpress Printing.
Letterpress is currently on the Red List of Endangered Crafts in the UK and Letterspace workshops are endeavouring to keep it alive through creativity and learning.

Workshops are available to book for individuals or groups - friends, families and work colleagues. Attendees tell us they’ve found the activities interesting in a fun and hands-on way. Everyone is delighted to take home their own prints and cards.
Participants are introduced to the history and the ‘how to’ of letterpress printing during the class whilst exploring our extensive collection of wood and metal type and printing on our vintage presses.

Dates are announced throughout the year and you can contact us directly to book your own special event.
