Tom Boulton (aka Type Tom) returns to share his extensive knowledge of Letterpress printing with us again. An exciting opportunity for you to make a bold statement with the printed word!

Language and the way words flow are an important part of Tom Boulton’s work: they are the starting point for all of his design and print projects. With over ten years’ experience in Letterpress printing and designing for both trade and personal clients, Tom has worked with a wide variety of people and organisations on contemporary design the print commissions for clients including Tate Modern, Southbank Centre, the V&A, Fortnum & Mason and the Design Museum.

Tom’s natural calling is to learn new skills, often skills that are considered obsolete or dead, to bring them back, revive interest and then use them in a contemporary context. On this one-day workshop, he will share his knowledge with you.

“I like the way words feel. I usually start with how words feel rather than how they look.”

Date: Sunday 27 July
Time: 10am to 4pm
Cost: £90 / Members £85

This workshop is suitable for anyone who’s interested in learning about typography and enjoys playing with words!

Tom Boulton trained as a typographic designer and is now a self-taught letterpress printer. He has been included in the London Design Festival twice and has been featured in publications such as Creative Review, The Telegraph and Country Living.
