Letterpress Workers

Letterpress Workers Letterpress Workers International Summit (LPW) is an annual meeting in Milan of letterpress workers What do we mean by letterpress worker?

Letterpress Workers (LPW) was established in 2012 by Officina Tipografica Novepunti. LPW is a short-term collaborative artist residency where letterpress workers from Europe and the Americas work together to share knowledge, cultural approaches, and ways of thinking (not only about letterpress). Printers, typographers, graphic designers, calligraphers, stone carvers, educators in these areas and a

rtists of all kinds that share a love of letters, type, ink, and experimentation. Our goal is to create an enduring physical network of people. LPW is an inclusive community that increases in number year by year. Not everyone comes to every edition, and each year a few spots in the residency are saved for newcomers, by invitation only. This way strong connections are built upon while fresh perspectives are guaranteed in our far-flung, tight-knit community of workers. If you want to get in touch, send an email to [email protected].

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 ❤️🛠✊
