Museum printing

Yesterday I went to help out at The Museum of East Anglian Life in Stowmarket.A little oasis in the middle of town where among lots of other interesting things is some old working printing presses and a kind man ' Pinky' the printer who invited me to help and learn about using the presses and type.it was good to look at printing from a different point of view and work with lettering which is all new to me.I don't think I will switch from the usual sort of art I enjoy making ,but it was great fun and I have learned quite a lot and hopefully I have retained most of it for when I go back.
