Letterpress Workers is an initiative created in 2012 by Officina Tipografica Novepunti. Since then, an international group of print designers from European and American countries meets in Milan once a year. It is an artist residency during which the participants, using movable type and a printing press, tackle a shared theme. The workshop is open to the public to introduce letterpress printing by encouraging visitors and designers to interact. Guided tours for schools, lectures and exhibitions are also planned. The final works are then collected to produce a travelling exhibition, accompanied by a book documenting them and exploring their connection to the assigned theme.
