Our Story

Our goal is to secure the future of traditional printing, not just preserving the past but bringing it to life.

We started our journey in 2017, when we founded our on-campus letterpress teaching and research studio.

Next came StreetLife: an ambitious project that put traditional printing back in the heart of York.

In late 2023, we soft launched our Centre for Print, recruiting a fantastic team, running workshops and away days, and welcoming members. In 2024, we moved to a permanent home in a beautiful historic venue.
