Introduction to Printing Course This course is run in partnership with the Paper Industry Charitable Trust
Upcoming The next course (Reference: IPC 24B) has now been arranged for Wednesday 2nd October 2024 at the St. Bride Foundation in London Venue St Bride Foundation
Established in 1891 with a clear social and
cultural purpose, St Bride Foundation is one of London’s hidden gems. Housed in
a beautiful Grade II listed Victorian building, St Bride Foundation was
originally set up to serve the burgeoning print and publishing trade of nearby
Fleet Street, and is now finding a new contemporary audience of designers,
printmakers and typographers who come to enjoy a regular programme of design
events and workshops.
Many thousands of books, printing-related periodicals and physical objects are at the heart of St Bride Library. Volumes on the history of printing, typography, newspaper design and paper-making jostle for space alongside one of the world’s largest and most significant collections of type specimens. The printed, written, carved and cast word may be found at St Bride in its myriad forms. Architectural lettering and examples of applied typography in many media, together with substantial collections of steel punches and casting matrices for metal types are also held in this eclectic collection. The Reading Room is open to visitors twice a month and on other days by appointment. Although we operate on a cost-neutral basis, it is necessary to charge for some of our services.
St
Bride retains many of its original features, including the baths, laundry,
printing rooms and library. As part of the Foundation’s original mission to
provide for the community, many of the building’s unique and characterful spaces
are available to hire whether for meetings, weddings or classes.
St
Bride also houses the popular Bridewell Theatre, and Bridewell Bar (once the
laundry), and hosts a year-round programme of plays, comedy, music and
exhibitions.
With some 65,000 visitors a year St Bride Foundation is a major London hub for the creative arts in London.
Objective of the Course
This training course has been developed for people who work in
businesses allied to the printing industry including paper merchants. We aim to
help ‘non-printers’ understand the fundamentals of how printing works and gain a
better insight into the world of print. The course is also suitable for
“starters” in the printing industry.
The intention of this course is not to make people experts in printing
but give them the knowledge to understand and converse with printers making the
right choices for products and end use, particularly paper for printing.
The course is designed to be engaging and easy to understand.
Delegates will come away from the course feeling that
they have a deeper appreciation of printing and how to handle and discuss
printing matters.
