New display 'Typographical objects & printed ephemera', curated by Robert Hetherington, with material from @CamberwellUAL Letterpress Workshop and our Archives, documenting a rich history of printing, typography and graphic design. Until 7 March.
Two lovely films found in the @CamberwellUAL library (@UAL_Archives) on ‘The Camberwell Press’ and ‘The Monotype Caster: a record of the craft’, both circa 1985.
Great to see the workshop as it was 35-years ago.
(Pictured are Cyril Parratt, Michael Gullick, and Ian Primarolo.)
