Description

Letterpress is the traditional process of printing by hand using moveable type. For this event Letterpress Lab staff will demonstrate how to lock up and print a small poster using handset type, composing sticks, quoins, furniture, leading, a chase and a galley tray! Want to learn what half those words mean, then make sure to drop by the Secret Lab.

Can’t make it till later? Don’t worry, we’re repeating the demonstration twice, at 1:00pm and 2:00pm.

Due to the presence of lead-based type, this program is intended for adults.
