Gentse Feesten 2024 or “De boere-kermis”.

July 20, 2024

It is that time of year again, time for Ghent Festivities (Gentse Feesten), one of the largest cultural festivals in Europe - ten days of fun, which kicks off on the 19th of July.

Designing and printing a poster for this occasion is an old tradition at the Museum of Industry and this year was no exception. In the past years, the posters I've designed were purely typographic, typeset from wood and metal type available in the museum collection. But this year we thought to link it to an historical object from the museum's collection.

Three-day workshop for Kalamazoo Book Art Center students at the Museum of Industry

June 15, 2023

Summer is on its way but before taking a well-deserved holiday, we had an interesting activity to look forward to: a three-day workshop for 11 students from Kalamazoo Book Arts Center who came from Michigan under the supervision of Jeff Abshear. The workshop, taught by Thomas Gravemaker and yours truly, took place at the printing department of the Museum of Industry in Ghent, equipped with proofing presses and a large collection of wood and metal type.

On Thursday 27 April, armed with my backpack and a large map full of letterpress printed posters I headed to Atelier t in Bierbeek. To prepare everything for a three-day workshop and run some tests before everyone arrives.

Letterpress learning programme 2023. Atelier t.

April 24, 2023

As the Easter holidays was approaching it was time for the second meet-up for our Meester-leerling project, led by Thomas Gravemaker with Niels Goovaerts and yours truly as exemplary students. This time our 3-day course took place at the Atelier t in Bierbeek. A newly built studio with 3 proofpresses and a large collection of metal and wood type seemed like a perfect playground for our next assignment: setting text. A long piece of text.
