The warmest of thanks to everyone who donated to our crowdfunding campaign to support our new Centre for Print. We raised 113% of our £30,000 target!

We're so excited to be moving forward with this project, which is also supported by UKRI and Northern Accelerator. More soon!

111% funded, & a round £33,300! The link is open until midnight, if you want to push us even further. All funding received will make a huge difference, & help us open traditional printing to new audiences. #crowdfunding #printmaking #heritagecrafts

We cannot wait to unlock the door to our amazing, newly-refurbished premises! We're creating a gorgeous home for traditional print in the loveliest of cities. Please help!

The hugest of thanks to the National Printing Heritage Committee for a very generous £1000 donation to our crowdfunding campaign. We're 85% funded with just three days to go!

Can you help us get over the line? Every donation massively welcome!

Traditional printing is an endangered craft. Without our help, it won’t survive 😔

Led by @UoYEnglish, the @ThinIcePress is hoping to preserve these skills by creating the York Centre for Print 📃

Can you help save this craft? Support them at: https://t.co/FywSO4pDNb

The pledge bar on our crowdfunding campaign is ticking up in a very heartening fashion! Please do donate if you can: it's going to be the most wonderful space and an extraordinary centre for old-fashioned print and ultramodern fabulousness.

[Radix Big Tent - RBT @Radix_UK]

The history of printing aligns with Radix's principles, as it has been instrumental in spreading ideas and challenging the norm

Thin Ice Press, the York Centre for Print, aim to contribute to Cohesive Capitalism and the growth of localism

We've made it through the shortest day of the year. What better time for a festive story?

Welcome to the fable of the fox who forked over a fiver.

(Or the tawny owl who turned over a tenner, if you prefer...).

[Thin Ice Press @thinicepress]

'And all of this', whispered the voice, 'will be thanks to you'.

And so, fox battled his way through the slightly unwieldy online form -- and gave. And the hearts of Thin Ice Press were filled with gladness, and beautiful things were brought forth into the world.
