Ink & Drink @ The Moveable Type Studio
Date: 11 October, 2024
Friday evening, 6.30 PM–8.30 PM
Interested in printmaking, graphic design and the visual arts? If you want to try your hand at letterpress printing, then come join us at the Moveable Type Studios 'Ink & Drink session The Moveable Type Team will introduce you to letterpress printing using wood type and vintage print artifacts from the MTS mobile printmaking container studio.
Introducing our artists in residence Mark Pei and Dzintra Menesis, both Mark and Dzintra incorporate lino and wood blocks in their art practice. They will discuss the opportunities they have encountered combining contemporary illustration with block printing while incorporating letterpress wood type into their print works.
If you are an emerging artist/designer or a seasoned professional and are keen to talk, connect and print, this social gathering is a great way to break the ice and get your hands dirty in this unique mobile traditional Letterpress Studio.
And if you are interested in getting your hands really dirty Dzintra will be running a two day lino block printing workshop at the MTS container in late November. Learn how include letterpress type with lino blocks, and discover new ways to build colour using, type, and traditional materials.
When the ink's drying, we'll sit, have a chat and a cold beer from one of our local craft breweries.*
