Controlleremo quello che esce sui giornali e come procede questa vicenda su Grafica Veneta S.p.a.. Il nostro nome lo ricorda sempre: siamo prima di tutto un gruppo di lavoratori della stampa, un gruppo di amici che vuole difendersi e difendere i colleghi di tutto il mondo.

Ci aggiorniamo, voi aggiornateci. E se volete raccontarci qualcosa, siamo qui anche per voi.

The Canary Islands to Leipzig & back again | Letterpress Workers A letterpress diary … … … After a summer without our annual LPW pilgrimage to Milan, it was a relief and a delight to be offered the opportunity meet up and work again with fellow letterpress printers…

We have done everything to do something, not to be alone, to continue to print all together even in this challenging 2020.

Here is the first of the things we want to tell you: the exhibition "From Futura to the Future" dedicated to the last years of our Summit and the few days of typographic printing that took place at the Museum für Druckkunst

It was our companion Marcelo de la Hoz's idea to bring LetterPress Workers to Leoncavallo Spazio Pubblico Autogestito.

A talented printer, a great friend, a true punk and an example of integrity, love for life and for others, unfortunately he passed today.

His smile, his words, we will always remember them. We will perhaps be forever, his LOCOS ❤️🛠✊

Here we are!

Featured in a long article on Pressing Matters #8 - where John Coe extensively writes about how being a community can help designers to resist in a workshop at 40 Celsius Degrees.

Glad John is now a friend and a letterpress worker before than an editor! ❤️🛠

A working community cannot stay blind in front of other humans looking for a better life

We were printing.
