New North Press artisan letterpress print & design studio

It was our great pleasure to be visited by Jim Sherraden of Hatch Show Print (who’s trip to the UK coincides with a fantastic exhibition of Hatch’s work at CHELSEA space). Having contributed prints to our Reverting to Type show but never visited New North Press before, Jim described the workshop as “the cat’s miaow”.

This beautifully shot short film documents the recovery of a dormant hand-pull press. Filmmaker Tom Stokes joined us on our journey to LEFA Print where manager Ed Arthur had generously invited us to loan the press in order that it should have a second life.
