Please read our Booking Information and Payment and Cancellations terms before requesting a place.

Got a specific project in mind? Maybe you and your betrothed would like to design and print your own Save the Date cards together, or you would like a more in depth one to one session exploring your own design ideas whether it be traditional hand typesetting or using photopolymer printing plates to turn your hand drawn illustrations into stationery items. Contact us to arrange a mutually convenient date and to discuss your ideas.

Thank you again for such a great day yesterday — I thoroughly enjoyed my first exposure to proper printing. "Mistral Penguin" has already been much admired!
