Both a functioning print studio and a living archive of typographic history, the workshop preserves and activates traditional letterpress practices through hands-on learning, creative experimentation, and contemporary printmaking. Home to an extensive collection of antique wood and lead moveable type, as well as historic presses including the remarkable 1816 Columbian “Eagle” Press, the facility supports students, artists, designers and visiting practitioners to engage deeply with the material and physical processes of print production. Through residencies, short courses and studio access, the workshop fosters a thoughtful and reflective approach to typography, craftsmanship and visual communication within an increasingly digital design landscape.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVanessa Wallace\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e’s art practice finds its focus through the use of multiple printmaking processes, with book making forming a central component.
