Some great images by @madebyolly_ who attended our recent #letterpress #weekendcourse with Nick Loaring @theeprintproject . Thanks for the tag! @hotbedpress is the place to go in Manchester 👍 Reposted from @madebyolly_ (@get_regrann) - A weekend of #Letterpress in good ol' Yorkshire has reignited the flame. No Mac's, Adobe or emails just pure #typeporn - if anyone knows any studios in #manchester I'm keen to create a lot more mess locally. #typography #letterpress #graphicdesign - #regrann

Thanks for the ace video @susanlof ! Hopefully see you in our workshop in the future 👍😙 Reposted from @susanlof (@get_regrann) - Visit to the West Yorkshire Print Workshop 75A Huddersfield Rd, Mirfield WF14 8AT West Yorkshire Print Workshop (WYPW), the largest open access printmaking facility in Yorkshire, was established in 1984. Located in an old Victorian school in Mirfiled, it also sits very close to the Calder & Hebble Navigation. The studio space and print facilities include paper and textile screen printing, etching and intaglio processes, linocut and woodcut printing, photo-etching, solar plate, photo-plate lithography, plywood lithography, relief print, monoprint, collagraph and letterpress. One of the best things about joining our local artistic community has been the amazingly talented artists I’ve met along the way. I found the space to be friendly and welcoming, so I’m planning to join then in future and possibly navigate there on “Misty Blue’ our homely narrowboat for a longer stay. - #regrann
