Mini-tour and Letterpress taster workshop at the National Print Museum
At the National Print Museum, we invite you to engage with a living museum experience. Engage with history as it comes to life through hands-on experiences, and witness the craft of printing as it once was. From the moment you step inside, you’ll journey through time, connecting with the stories, ideas, and events that have shaped our world through the power of the printed word.
For August Craft month, join us for a mini-tour and letterpress workshop where you’ll get a hands-on experience of the craft. Guided by the letterpress artist Mary Plunkett, you’ll set type and see it printed on the working presses of the Museum’s collection.
Sunday 9 August – 2pm to 4pm
Free, drop-in event, no booking needed
Event Address: Garrison Chapel, Beggars Bush Barracks, D04 E0C9
