Visiting Bodoni Museum in Parma. 28.06.19.
Every year, in June, I take a few days off to travel to Milan to attend the Letterpress Workers Summit in Milan, a unique event gathering more than letterpress practitioners from Europe and US (blogpost about the event will follow next month). After a short train ride from Milan, we, a group of 10-12 people arrived in the city of Parma. The Bodoni Museum is only open till 13 o'clock and it is better to arrange an appointment before visiting, although it requires a certain knowledge of the Italian language. And we have to thank John Christopher (Flowers & Fleurons, UK) for contacting the museum staff.

DRUKOPSTRAAT 7. 4-5.05.2019. Museum of Industry. Gent
For the 7th time Topo Copy and the Museum of Industry (formerly known as the MIAT) will bundle their forces to organise one more edition of DRUKOPSTRAAT steamroller printing festival. This time the festival will take place just in front of the Museum of Industry which will actually celebrate the reopening of the printing department during the same weekend of 4th & 5th May!
During this two-day event around 20 artists were printing their impressive large pieces of linocut (carved in advance) not on a printing press, but on the street and with a steamroller, a road construction machine which normally is being used for road maintenance. So be sure to pass by when are in Gent ;)
Take a look at the previous editions - 2017, 2016, 2015, 2014, 2013, 2012
