Workshops

In the workshop you first view book illustrations, prints and drawings. Then you’ll learn how to make a drypoint etching as you get to work with plexiglass, ink and a centuries-old etching press.

Arrange letters in mirror image in a composing stick, make up a complete page and print it on a genuine press.

Would you like to know how things worked in the historic Officina Plantiniana printing house? During a printing demonstration, you will learn all about printing with lead type.
