A letterpress workshop delivered by Thin Ice Press.

In recent works, especially Hz So Good and R U OK (both 2022), Harland Miller has played with the snappy, abbreviated forms of txt speak or ‘platespeak’ (the language of personalised number plates). In this workshop, we will do the same, stripping words down to their essential components. Participants will learn the basics of letterpress, and will hand set metal type in order to create a snappy txt abbreviation or communication. All participants will go home with a set of unique A5 prints, showcasing the results of their work.
