Expo // Typefaces in het Industriemuseum. 11.07.2025 - 22.02.2026.

July 24, 2025

Letters are everywhere—from newspaper headlines to road signs, from posters shouting cheerfully to the letter that addresses you sternly. With bold strokes, flowing curves, or sharp angles, the choice of type strengthens the message. Typography often goes unnoticed, yet it is a unique art form where craftsmanship and creativity meet. Reason enough for the Industriemuseum to dedicate an exhibition to it.

Long live the Black Arts / Visiting the collection of project Letter-Kunde by Patrick Goossens in Antwerp (BE)

June 25, 2025

Our latest field excursion took us to Antwerp, where we had the privilege of visiting project Letter-Kunde, the extensive and unique collection by Patrick Goossens. Patrick is widely known within our community—not only as a dedicated historian and passionate collector, but also as a long-time advisor at the Museum of Industry (Ghent) and Plantin-Moretus (Antwerp) and a treasurer of AEPM. Many of us have crossed paths with him over the years at conferences, book and print fairs.

Lang leve de zwarte kunst | Jaaropleiding Letterzetten 2026-2027

June 9, 2025

Wil je je een jaar lang verdiepen in het vak boekdruk? Wil je leren letterzetten en drukken op de proefpers? Volg dan onze tweede jaaropleiding Letterzetten. De jaaropleiding hoort bij het driejarige project ‘Lang leve de zwarte kunst’ van Drukwerkplaats Atelier t in samenwerking met het Industriemuseum, CC De Borre en de Genkse Academie voor Beeldende Kunst en Media.

De opleiding bestaat uit zes driedaagse werkweekends (telkens op vrijdag, zaterdag en zondag), die afwisselend plaatsvinden in de werkplaatsen van Drukwerkplaats Atelier t in Bierbeek en het Industriemuseum in Gent. Tussendoor zijn er plaatsbezoeken bij musea en bijzondere collecties in Vlaanderen en Brussel. De begeleiding is in handen van ervaren docenten: Thomas Gravemaker, Armina Ghazaryan en Niels Goovaerts. Aan elk driedaags weekend gaat een online bijeenkomst vooraf, waarin we verder inzoomen op theorie, samen presentaties bekijken of huiswerk bespreken. Tussendoor werk je zelfstandig aan studie en opdrachten. Voor die opdrachten kun je – na afspraken – terecht in de werkplaatsen in Bierbeek en Gent. Aanmelden tot 15 september. Niet te missen!

Long live the Black Arts / Visiting the National Playing Card Museum in Turnhout

May 5, 2025

After an inspiring three-day workshop at Atelier T in Bierbeek, it was time for our second field trip — and this one had a particularly rich visual and historical flavor. We had the pleasure of meeting Herwig Kempenaers at the National Playing Card Museum (Nationaal Museum van de Speelkaart) in Turnhout, Belgium — a destination that should be on every printmakers radar.
