What you can expect

  • This is an experience that I have been cultivating for more than 40 years in the artisan workshop that I founded in 1989 together with Michele, after 10 years of working in other print shops in Venice.
    The workshop: from the creative idea to the composition, from inking to the actual execution.
    The beauty of entering the world of letterpress printing, using old wooden type and hand presses in our artisan workshop in Campo Santa Maria Mater Domini, in the historic centre of Venice, in a building dating back to the 12th century.
    And after the course, which usually lasts at least two hours, your creation on fine Fabriano Rosaspina paper will be ready.
    We look forward to seeing you!
