Too early for New Year's wishes, but time for champagne nonetheless. We got some great news last week. In 2023, we will receive a grant from the Flemish government to enter into our own expert-level letterpress learning programme, with Niels Goovaerts (Atelier t) and myself as students and the one-and-only Thomas Gravemaker (Letterpress Amsterdam) as maestro. The scholarship allows us to take the time to dive even deeper into the craft, drawing on all Thomas' knowledge and experience. It will be a combination of online sessions and intensive three-day weekends. It will be gruelling, with such an all-seeing master! 😉 Never thought we stood any chance, but never say never. We will be working in Atelier t and in the Museum of Industry in Ghent. Great chance to preserve the knowledge and pass it on. Keep an eye on this space.
