The National Print Museum is hosting a one-day letterpress seminar on Saturday 1st October 2011.
Explore and discover the phenomenon of letterpress through a one-day programme of talks, demonstrations and displays of work.
Traditional and modern practitioners will present their craft and offer delegates the unique opportunity to experience the process hands-on.
The National Print Museum collects, documents, preserves, exhibits, interprets and makes accessible the material evidence of printing craft and fosters associated skills of the craft in Ireland. In so doing the Museum aims to preserve the practical knowledge of the craft of letterpress printing and the objective of this seminar is to create a platform from which further training programmes may be launched.
