Hi,

I’ve been fascinated with letterpress for a long time now and after having recently received a beautiful letterpress invitation to a friends wedding I am thinking I’d love to have a go myself.

I’m on the hunt for a tabletop press to get started with but just wondering if there is anyone on here from my local area that could share some of their knowledge in person, as from reading other posts on the forum it seems that’s the best place to start.

I live in Durham, UK but from my research there isn’t much around me with regards to letterpress. Any help appreciated.

Cheers,
Sean

Try the British Printing Society.

There may be members in your area who could advise.
