Experience the wonders of letterpress printing at the "Introduction to Letterpress Printing, with Oli Bentley" workshop held at Salts Works in Shipley. Participants will have the opportunity to work on the World Record-holding People Powered Press, immersing themselves in the artform that revolutionized the distribution of printed words and promoted literacy among common people. Led by graphic designer Oli Bentley, known for his creative work in various sectors, including music, arts, and non-profit organizations, attendees will learn the intricacies of letterpress printing while creating their own unique prints using traditional wooden letters and the studio's large steel typeface, Graft.

During the three-hour session, participants will collaborate in a team of five to design and print their creations, each weighing around 2kg, on the impressive press. The leisurely and creative process encourages engaging conversations and a sense of community as individuals set, ink, and print their designs. Attendees are advised to wear suitable clothing for the hands-on experience and will receive refreshments along with a limited edition visual booklet detailing the story of the People Powered Press and the development of the Graft typeface. All proceeds from the workshop will support the press's community initiatives in the Bradford district, amplifying local voices and promoting meaningful messages.
