What you can expect

An experience I have been cultivating for more than 40 years in the artisan workshop I founded in 1989 together with Michele, after 10 years in other print shops in Venice.
The workshop: from 'creative idea to composition, from inking to actual execution.
The beauty of entering the world of letterpress printing, using the ancient wooden typefaces and hand presses in our artisan workshop in Campo Santa Maria Mater Domini, in the historic centre of Venice, in a palace from the 1100s.
And after the course, which usually lasts at least two hours, here is ready the creation made on the fine Fabriano Rosaspina paper.
We are waiting for you!
