Visiting the UK ~ I would love to visit your press …
Hi,
I’m currently visiting the UK and would like to visit as many private presses and artist studios as I can while I’m here.
You can personal message me lawrence vurtmedia.com if you might enjoy a visit from a fellow artist printmaker letterpress prop (based in Australia)…
I’m in the UK for two months mostly so that I can visit presses, print initiatives and artists…
Regards
Lawrence Finn

If you have time pop in and see us at The Paper Trail (www.thepapertrail.org.uk). Letterpress is covered on the 2nd and last Sunday each month.
If you are in London you can get a train from Euston to Apsley.
Regards
Paul
Lawrence - The Printer's Yellow Pages are searchable by location. You may find printers and points of interest there.
Amberley Museum has a fabulous Printshop open most days check website, Weds and Sats are good-train ride 1.2 hrs south from London-it is a historical collection of letterpress presses from reconstructed common, Vicobold, Wharfedale, Chandler Price, to Heidelberg, Monocaster, Linotype, Intertype on June 9-10 it is especially open to public for demos etc. Volunteers(mainly ex trade printers with amazing knowledge and skills) are not “creative ” artists through printing but if you have nothing else to do…..watch old machinary going round and round, I find it fascinating….even for the first time had a go at the Chandler and Price last Sunday, nice press.
lawrence finn, there is a site called we love letterpress.com
and they have several listings in the UK, good luck and drink a pint for me.james
