This spring, explore the tactile world of letterpress printing in The Loft at Rutland Nursery with Green Machine Creative.

Combine traditional letterpress techniques with relief printing blocks to create your own unique set of handcrafted spring or Easter cards. Using vintage Adana tabletop presses and a selection of wood and metal type, you’ll learn how to print a mini-edition of five two-colour cards from a collection of designs brought by workshop leader Lucy Douglas.

Lucy—founder of Green Machine Creative and a designer with over 15 years of experience—will guide you through each step, offering insights into the tactile quality, charm, and craftsmanship of a centuries-old printing method that digital processes simply can’t replicate.

Workshop Highlights:

• Create a set of five handcrafted, two-colour letterpress cards

• Use vintage Adana tabletop presses and traditional type

• Learn from experienced designer and printmaker Lucy Douglas

• All materials and equipment provided

Perfect for beginners or anyone interested in printmaking, typography, or handmade stationery, this workshop promises a creative, inspiring, and thoroughly enjoyable springtime experience.
