Description
Create your own powerful Print for Peace in this hands-on letterpress masterclass, open to all with no experience needed. Guided by an experienced printmaker, you’ll use traditional and contemporary style to design a unique print inspired by protest posters, placards and messages of hope, resistance and reflection.
Using the People Powered Press, the largest of its kind in the world, you’ll learn the basics of letterpress and relief printmaking while producing a finished print in colours of your choice to take home.
You’ll also have the opportunity to contribute your work to Pressing Matters, an exhibition at the Peace Museum in 2026.
