1-Day Workshop: Alan Kitching – Letterpress

12/06/2017

“What people get from my workshops I hope is an appreciation of typography through the original method of letterpress printing. I was particularly surprised by the inventiveness of some of the work as it got produced. The main challenge in doing a workshop is the time factor, but given that the time was limited, they all managed to achieve interesting results.” – Alan Kitching

Alan Kitching is a name synonymous with letterpress. A master in the art of typography, Alan passed on his knowledge, tasking each participant with selecting a Whisky Brand to brand typography typography in a style of their choosing.

“I feel that the workshop went very well in the end” – Alan Kitching
