This workshop is open to all, no previous experience is required. Gaada’s experienced printmakers will guide you through each step from composing your type, to locking it up, before making ready for printing a set of postcards.

This workshop is for ages 16+, no previous experience is required. #block-00fd716fcbf2e0ac1c36 .sqs-html-content { --tweak-text-block-padding: 6% 6% 6% 6%; --tweak-text-block-padding: initial; } #block-00fd716fcbf2e0ac1c36 { } @media screen and (max-width: 767px) { #block-00fd716fcbf2e0ac1c36 { } } @media screen and (max-width: 767px) { #block-00fd716fcbf2e0ac1c36 .sqs-html-content { } } @media screen and (max-width: 767px) { } If you are gifting this workshop to someone, why not download this Gaada Gift Card and print it out at home! #block-789e271a346bd71ee60c .sqs-html-content { --tweak-text-block-padding: 6% 6% 6% 6%; --tweak-text-block-padding: initial; }...
