Print your own poster with wooden letters? Yes, you can!

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

GWA’s workshop, located nearby in the NDSM Loods, has an extensive collection of traditional graphic materials: printing presses, wooden letters, lead type, and everything you need for linocut, woodcut, and bookbinding. The foundation offers courses and workshops to anyone who wants to work with traditional printing techniques school classes, graphic students, artists, and lovers of handcrafted printwork. Step away from the computer!

This workshop is open to everyone from 8 years and older. You will work together with one other participant to create your own poster. The poster won’t be dry immediately; it’s best to let it hang as long as possible before taking it home, or you can pick it up later at the workshop.
