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.
