Taking Part

The Letter­press Printers’ Guild has two ways of taking part.  If you’re a printer, you can become a Member.  If you enjoy letterpress-printed material, you can support the craft by becoming a subscriber.

Members

Following the 2010 Founding Conference, intended for the end of this year,
all new members will be admitted as either a devil or printer.  A printers’ devil is the tradi­tional term for a printers’ apprentice.  All new members are admitted as a devils, and have to demon­strate quality letter­press printing to their assigned supporters who will propose they become printers.  The process is designed to maintain and improve standards of letter­press printing.

Subscribers

Many people enjoy the quality of letter­press printing, but do not print them­selves.  Our subscribers support the craft through their subscription and in return recieve regular bundles of contem­porary letter­press printing; our journal and invit­a­tions to our events.
