A letterpress workshop delivered by Thin Ice Press for Harland Miller: XXX at York Art Gallery.

In recent works, especially Hz So Good and R U OK (both 2022), Harland Miller has played with the snappy, abbreviated forms of txt speak or ‘platespeak’ (the language of personalised number plates). In this workshop, we will embrace the personalised number plate as an art form. Participants will play with sense and meaning to create a bespoke ‘number plate’ using wood type. You will print your type and a bespoke border to create your own personalised number plate on paper. Participants will go home with a set of unique prints, showcasing their work.

Internationally acclaimed artist and writer Harland Miller returns to York Art Gallery this March to present ‘XXX’, a new exhibition showcasing paintings and works on paper from his renowned ‘Letter Paintings’ series.
