The workshop will take place at the attractive and light-filled AtelierT in Bierbeek (Belgium). AtelierT – an initiative of Niels Goovaerts and Katleen Vereecken – is situated close to Leuven.

During this workshop in the studio of LetterpressAmsterdam, you’ll be learning the finer details of typesetting, proofing, lay-out, setting up a forme, preparing for and printing. At the same time, you’ll learn about press maintenance etc.

Some comments:
It is such an enormous joy to work with this well motivated team in a great atmosphere and under the fantastic guidance of Thomas – who is for me a master typographer – printer and a fantastic teacher.
