The Making of Printers’ Type: Study Day

2 September @ 10:00 am - 4:30 pm

£50 – £80

To be held in the Museum and in one of the galleries at Blickling Hall, this is a day for the type-connoisseur, the printing-historian, and anyone interested in
the long history of type from ancient China, Japan and Korea, through early Mainz printing and the spread of the technology across Europe and around the
world, industrialization and mechanization, to the introduction of photosetting and the contemporary world of digital type. No previous knowledge of type-history is required, as the presentations will begin from first principles. New theories about early type-production will be discussed by Paul W. Nash and Jack Norfolk. Jeremy Tankard (an independent type-designer) will describe his working methods and philosophy in the creation of new fonts. Practical typecasting sessions and other demonstrations will be held using the resources of the Museum, and examples of physical types, and the products of the early presses, will be available for study. For a full programme see the Museum website at https://norwichprintingmuseum.co.uk/events/type-study-day/
