Letterpress workshop at KhiO

A few weeks ago I had a workshop with mainly letterpress and a bit of book binding together with a MA student Ane Thon Knutsen from KhiO and a printer and teacher from Oslo By Steinerskole Thomas Pfeiffer. The students seemed happy, all of us teachers were happy and I really enjoyed myself.

It felt a bit strange to teach in a studio I've never worked in before. But after a while I felt I got how things were organised there. The students worked very independent which allowed me to learn this amazing Hiedelberg Platen press. I was smiling, printing and loving working with the norwegian letters æ, ø and å.

Thomes Pfeiffer shows how it works!
