letterpress competition image

As part of our Crafting Mass Production day, we are planning a letterpress workshop run by Alex Cooper and Rose Gridneff of Workshop in Hackney, with four high profile designers, from 10am–4pm on Wednesday, 9 September. Together, the designers will produce a single piece of work, which will be printed in an edition of 500 and will be given away as part of greengaged.

There are two available places and we would like to invite you to join in. Email us at here, telling us why you want to participate in no more than 100 words, and win a chance to spend a day collaborating with well known designers in a letterpress workshop. The competition closes on Friday 28 August.
