For a fourth year in a row the creative collective Novepunti is organising the Letterpress Workers Summit in Milan.
LpW 2013
Letterpress Workers International Summit (LpW) is an annual meeting of letterpress designers from Europe and Latin America. LpW is a short term artistic residence, open to the public, where people work together on a common theme, sharing their knowledge and experience.
In few words: a physical social network.
LpW started in Milan in 2012, curated by Officina Tipografica Novepunti.
Since 2014, it has been held at Leoncavallo S.p.a.
Theme of this year is Popular dance and music. Throughout the day, more than 30 designers will be printing their musical traditions, at night they will be dancing them.
Join us, take part to the workshops and conferences or just come over to have a look around and have a drink! Your life will not be the same.
