Dust Jackets - letterpress workshop

Dust Jackets
Sunday 13 April 2025

10.30am – 1.30pm | £40
Book now  | SOLD OUT

A letterpress workshop delivered by Thin Ice Press.

Join us for a fun printing workshop, inspired by Harland Miller’s iconic dust jacket paintings. Miller looks at books as objects with their own histories of being read, cast aside, and rediscovered, and uses playful or irreverent titles to bring them into the present moment. Participants will choose from a selection of backgrounds, pre-printed on our risograph at Thin Ice Press: the York Centre for Print, and will experiment with type to create their own unique printed artworks. All participants will go away with a set of A3 posters, celebrating the work of Harland Miller and his passion for books and wordplay.
