Workshops at the Atelier t in Bierbeek (BE)
Atelier t is an artistic print studio in Bierbeek, near Leuven (Belgium). The studio was founded by Katleen Vereecken and Niels Goovaerts. In the spring of 2022, a new, spacious and well-equipped print studio was built. Three quality proofing presses are available, as well as an extensive collection of lead and wood type. A small library completes the set-up.
Atelier t is an open workspace for slow printing. You are most welcome for letterpress printing and other techniques. You can follow one of the workshops or come up with your own project, for which we offer tailor-made guidance.

11 – 12 March 2023 — Introduction to Letterpress with Niels Goovaerts

We made it! Expert-level letterpress learning programme 2023
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.
