I can't wait to share my love of letterpress printing with you....it's such a fun way to create beautiful prints, from greeting cards, to wedding invitations, business cards, artwork and more.
My love for printing and design started in my Dad's little print shop back in Brazil, in the early 90's. He used beautiful old letterpress machines and I have such happy memories of playing around him while he was working. I still remember the smell of the paper, inks and the sounds of the machines in action.
I’m so excited to keep this old profession alive and pass forward the knowledge through printing workshops using and preserving these vintage machines.

Roberto is a great teacher and conveys his passion for his craft. He’s very generous with his time. The venue is beautifully set up and well organised. The materials provided for the workshop were excellent and overall it was great value for money. I learned some interesting new skills and came away with a bunch of notebooks that I’d be proud to give friends as presents. I really enjoyed the workshop and hope to do more!

The teacher was great! He adapted well to our different ages and abilities. We loved being hands on with the machines and he filled us in on the history of them too. Lots of fun and engaging activities in a spacious and clean environment! We all plan to go back and do more printing in the future.

My partner and I had a ball at this class, it was super fun and we learned a tonne. We had been interested in letter-pressing but had no prior experience, so we were keen to learn more and give it a crack. Our instructor was incredibly knowledgeable, patient and explained each step of the process to us clearly and in great detail. We were hands on for the full workshop and got to experience every step required.
