Catseye private press is not just a static museum. Selected people, will allowed, indeed encouraged, to print things for themselves on our letterpress equipment. They will get the run of the comp room, as long as they promise to do their own diss. Fair? I think so! We are in league with our friends at The Hill House Inn, which provides excellent accomodations at a sensible price. The pub and the museum are but a few minutes apart in a car.
Retired printers are expected to enjoy this mmore than anybody else. I am very happy to spend as much time with them as I can afford and help them to produce any work or project at which they fancy having go. I would hope that our comp. room will be of particular pleasure to a letterpress printer and that the range of machines and the smell of the ink can invoke long past memories.
As to students, I am happy to teach any person to print - except printmakers, who irritate the life out of me. I will not get involved in them at all. If you think you have learned to print at colledge or university and would like to come to try it out, this is not the place for you. If letterpress printing fascinates you and you have actually earned a real living producing the printed word in a commercial environment or would love to learn how it is (still) done, from scratch, then you are more than welcome.
