Reverting to Type
I can't wait to see Reverting to Type at the Standpoint Gallery, London - a 'typographic extravaganza' showcasing the work of 20 letterpress studios from around the World.
"Reverting to Type is an exhibition of contemporary letterpress practitioners, showcasing how a centuries-old craft is being reinvented for modern day usage."
The exhibition, curated by Graham Bignell founder of artisan letterpress print studio New North Press and designer Richard Ardagh, includes work from some of our favourites; Hatch Show Print, Occasional Print Club and the one I'm most excited about - Yee Haw! Industries.
Much of the featured work will be available to buy along with a series of collaboration prints from New North Press. Standpoint Gallery will also be running an Adana press so visitors can hand-print personalised Christmas cards!
The exhibition is open 10-6 everyday up to 24 December 2010 and then after a Christmas break, runs from 4 - 22 January 2011.
