Printing your own poster with wooden letters? You can!

GWA Grafische Werkplaats Amsterdam is once again bringing a small printing press, antique wooden letters and ink to the Ambacht in Beeld Festival. With it, you can design and print your own personalised poster.

In its workshop just down the road in the NDSM Loods, GWA has an extensive collection of traditional graphic materials: printing presses, wooden letters, lead letters and everything you need for lino, woodcut and bookbinding. The foundation offers courses and workshops to anyone who wants to work with craft printing techniques themselves. School classes, graphics students, artists and lovers of handmade printing. Step away from the computer!

This workshop is for everyone aged eight years and up. You will work together with one other participant and make your own poster. The poster is not immediately dry; it is best to leave it hanging as long as possible before taking it home – or pick it up later at the Grafische Werkplaats Amsterdam.
