Bring the family or a bunch of friends (or just yourself!) to a private printing session, and make some big prints to take home with you.
Print phrases, bold statements, family names or giant letters and make your own big, bold prints — for your home, as a gift, or as your own public statement.
You can use the big steel letters of our typeface Graft, or design your own letters using the four different shapes of our modular type system, Brico.
Sessions work well for 1—6 people. No experience necessary, all ages welcome.
If things are a bit tight right now, and you're not able to pay £35, please contact us to arrange to pay-as-you-feel: hello@thepeoplepoweredpress.org

Oli Bentley has worked as a graphic designer since he set up Split whilst a music student in 2007, opening the studio of the same name 3 years later. He works extensively in the music, arts and non-profit sectors, also creating self initiated work as a designer/graphic artist, letterpress printer and type designer. Born from his award-winning exhibition and book, These Northern Types, Oli is the founder of the People Powered Press and designed its large steel typeface — Graft. More recently he has created the Brico type system in collaboration with Anthony Burrill and Thomas Mayo — created to work with community groups on large-scale murals and so that anyone might share in the joy of type designing at a massive scale.
