letterpress workers summit, milano, summer 2014

this year had the chance to meet up in milano for 5 days and 4 nights of large doses of caffeine, paper, wood type, furniture, presses, shit loads of beautiful proofpresses…

the letterpress workers international summit 2014

Officina Novepunti is glad to present The Letterpress Workers International Summit 2014, an international letterpress workshop, followed by an exhibition, which will take place in Leoncavallo, Milano, from the 18th to 22th of June. During the workshop, about twenty designers, from different European and Central American studios, will work side by side, using typefaces, rolls, inks and paper, in the presence of an audience. The resulting artworks will be shown in an exhibition, starting right after the workshop: on the same occasion, other typographical works, selected from a pool of italian typographers, will be shown.

i can say that this event/meeting is a blessing from milano based letterpress collective officina tipografica novepunti.
they are just materializing into the physical reality this new era of letterpress printing led by the internet fake-plastic stage with dslr photography.
last year we broke the ice; now, it seems we have a ship to sail.
i can only say that my anxiety levels are going up, but im well prepared.
last year was like this… more or less… solo una prespective di una macchina e un microfono…
