Adana Workshops
Workshops for the Adana printing press.
If you’ve recently become the proud owner of an Adana but you’re feeling a little lost on how to get the best out of it, we have just the workshop for you!
Ideal for those who want to know more, or need a helping hand.
Book one-to-one tuition with Chris and bring your Adana with you.
You will:
– Have your machine checked over
– Learn basic maintenance
– Get to grips with typesetting skills, locking up a chase and printing
– Learn some tips of the trade
The rest of your time with us will be devoted to printing, so bring along a mini project – a print or correspondence cards maybe – and get stuck in!
Includes
– Expert tuition
– Materials for a short print run. Additional materials can be purchased if you’d like to do a longer print run
– Tea, coffee and biscuits (naturally!)
Prefer to learn in your own studio? We can come to you! Contact us to discuss your requirements.
"I recently went on a one day letterpress and typesetting course with Smallprint and thoroughly enjoyed it. Chris is an excellent teacher and the facilities are second to none. The price was extremely reasonable too! If you’re wanting to learn the basics of letterpress, I can’t recommend them highly enough."
