Christmas Cards Exchange 2015

December 27, 2015

Don't you just love the smell of freshly printed ink in the morning? I certainly do!

For the second year in a row, I'm participating in the Christmas Cards Exchange project organized by the group of enthusiastic letterpress printers from the UK. The group of participants is growing every year (we were with more than 60 this year) and it is an absolute joy to receive the Christmas cards from Iceland, US, Denmark, Italy, The Netherlands, Argentina and so on. It is so inspiring. Thank you & Merry Christmas to you all! It was the best Christmas ever! Check out all cards here.

Project with L’Atelier à l’Envers

A couple of months ago Guillaume Bétemps from L’Atelier à l’Envers (FR) was on a short holiday in Belgium and we decided to meet at the MIAT museum in Gent to have a chat.

This was DRUKOPSTRAAT 4. MIAT, Gent

September 23, 2015

For a fourth year on a row Topo Copy teamed up with Helix and Het Miat (Museum of Industrial Archaeology and Textiles Ghent) to make giant prints, not on a press but on concrete with a steamroller, a type of heavy construction machinery used for flattening/compacting surfaces, such as roads or airfields. During a two-day-event the artists carved lino's and printed them on ‘flags’, paper and even clothing.
