Studio B Letterpress - demonstration and workshop tour

Silver Cottage, Silver Street, Milverton, Taunton, Somerset, TA4 1LA

  • Multiple dates available
  • In person
  • Pre-booking required

Studio B is a letterpress printing workshop established in 2004 by Carl Middleton. It aims to celebrate and maintain the heritage of letterpress printing 'through use'.

The contents of Studio B have been gathered together over three decades of collecting and culminate in one of the largest collections of antique wood and metal type in Somerset.

We are part of a wider fraternity of letterpress printers who value the process enough to privately invest in it to promote its qualities wherever possible. A process where we all hope to protect and conserve a key component in the evolution of communication.
