PrintLab – National Print Museum
PrintLab provides a unique, inclusive and creative space at the National Print Museum for children and families to participate in hands-on workshops, which aim to provide them with an understanding of the historical, social and contemporary relevance of letterpress printing as a tool for communication. Taking inspiration from the tinkering and making culture, PrintLab offers a series of ‘fablab’ style workshops, which encourage children to explore individual and communal approaches to design thinking through letterpress printing. Our space will feature workshops for families and children aged from 4-12 years (all ages are welcome!) which aim to enhance children’s learning experience and introduce the craft of letterpress to a new generation. At this year’s Dublin Maker we look forward to bringing along our ever popular Lego printing workshop, the P22 modular printing blocks, along with some traditional letterpress type and a printing press.
