Letterpress Christmas Workshop

  • Blackwell & Sons Workshop 102 Main Street Greytown, Wellington, 5712 New Zealand (map)

Step into the timeless art of letterpress printing and create something truly special this Festival of Christmas. In this full-day workshop, you'll learn the basics of traditional letterpress from Graham Judd of Inkiana Press—a seasoned printer with a passion for type and design​.

Perfect for beginners (ages 16+), this hands-on session will guide you through the process of setting type and printing on vintage presses. By the end of the day, you'll walk away with a beautiful collection of original Christmas cards and gift tags—designed and printed by you!

Whether you're a curious creative, a design enthusiast, or just looking to make your own unique holiday gifts, letterpress offers a satisfying, tactile experience that slows things down and connects you to centuries of printmaking tradition.

All materials are provided, and we’ll keep you cozy with tea, coffee, and snacks throughout the day.
