Join the "Introduction to Letterpress Printing, with Oli Bentley" workshop at Salts Works in Shipley. This event offers a unique opportunity to work with the World Record-holding People Powered Press and create your own print design. Letterpress printing, which originated in the 15th century, revolutionized the distribution of printed material and played a crucial role in increasing literacy among the general population. Under the guidance of Oli Bentley, a graphic designer and founder of the press, you will learn the skills and terminology of letterpress printing. Using a wide range of traditional wooden letters and the giant steel letters of the Graft typeface, you will design and set your words in the press's bed, ink them up, and create a stunning print. The leisurely and creative process encourages conversation and collaboration among participants. Attendees will also have the opportunity to hear the fascinating story behind the creation of the People Powered Press and its accidental world record. The workshop includes refreshments and a limited edition visual booklet that chronicles the People Powered Press and the development of the Graft typeface. By attending this workshop, you will not only experience the joy of letterpress printing but also support the People Powered Press' work with community groups in the Bradford district.
