As many of you might know, at the end of 2022, we (Niels Goovaerts from Atelier t and yours truly) got a scholarship from the Flemish government to enter into our own expert-level letterpress learning programme led by Thomas Gravemaker (Letterpress Amsterdam).

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.
