Here's an opportunity to get your hands inky at the Amberley Museum and Heritage Centre in West Sussex.
They are also hoping to have a Monotype Composition Caster up and running.

The Print Workshop provides a display of printing machinery and artefacts.
Most of the Print Workshop’s exhibits are operational and in use throughout the season.
This is in West Sussex. I live very near here and it's a fantastic place.

ReplyDeleteWish I could visit but miles away!
Hi Jax
ReplyDeleteI volunteer at Amberley every Sunday and its the best printshop in the country as far as its manned every day through the season and every machine is in full working order, we have two Linotypes a standard 78 and a 78SM, Ludlow and Monotype composition caster, a range of presses from an Oak common press up to the Heidelberg Cylinder, Elrod and all the comproom equipment loads of type and tons of wood type! We have a forty foot container full of presses and an Intertype C4 but sadly nowhere to display it all as yet, its also the retirement home for the Daily Express!
Must get down one day would love to see it all!
