Studio B. Letterpress printing demonstration and workshop tour

The collection at Studio B has been gathered over four decades of collecting, it culminates in one of the largest collections of antique wood and metal type in Somerset.

Studio B is 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 through its contemporary use.
