Is the printing works accessible?

Part of the building (case-room, where type is stored) is only accessible via stairs. There are chairs in every room to rest, although much of the work of printing can only be done standing up. There are some areas with low lighting.

Can I see samples/ inspiration images?

Email us at smails@nts.org.uk to see sample PDFs! There will also be physical copies of previous work to browse at the workshop.

Do you have images to print?

We do have a collection of image blocks, however they are somewhat eclectic and it is best not to design a piece around a specific image. You can email us at smails@nts.org.uk to check in advance what we have or if your idea is possible.
