Type and Museums

I spent many a happy hour composing type at the London College of Communication and enjoyed a truly amazing visit to the Type Museum in London during my (mature) students at the University of the Arts London.

Today, I spent more fascinating, informative and enjoyable hours at the Jarrold Printing Museum in Norwich.

Many sincere thanks to the team of volunteers for sharing invaluable knowledge and experience with myself and my group of students.  The group gained an in-depth insight into Print history; the lithographic printing process; letter press techniques; type casting machines; printing presses; bookbinding and the story of Jarrolds.

Fascinating.

Warmest thanks go to:
John Hutchinson
John Rumball
Duncan McEwan
Fred Stubbs
William Feigh

and to members of the team who I have not mentioned by name - solely because the afternoon was packed with activity and I did not get to ask the names of all the staff that I met.
