Wood Type Thursday

The collection of wood type letters at Grafisch Atelier Hilversum has grown significantly over the last couple of years. From really big ass type to medium sized workhorsel sans serifs and elegant Jugendstil specimens.

But, we don’t know yet what the condition is of each set. Complete? Damaged? Does it need cleaning?

On Thursday evenings I’ll be working on this part of the letter collection. Sorting type, setting and printing proofs, arrange the workspace and the necessary materials.

Does that sound like something you’d like to help with? The objective is to steadily make productive progress without rushing things. There’s a lot of material to review. We’ll take it step by step.

Interested? I’ll be in the printmaking studio, Noorderweg 96b, Hilversum, on Thursdays between 7.30 and 10pm. I’m looking for two people who want to volunteer their time to help with this. Of course you can’t know that beforehand, so contact me and we’ll make an appointment for a first Thursday visit.
