Workshop - Print Your Own Business Cards

Wednesdays/Saturdays - 9.30am for 4-5 hours
Stoneleigh, Epsom, Surrey.
One or two attendees

Come along to my garden studio, and print your own design on the infamous Beast!

This workshop is perfect for creatives and small business owners, who want to have that luxury, hand made feel in all parts of their business.

Booking this session includes:

- Consultation on your design and needs in the run up to the workshop (email and two phone consultations)

- Adapting your own digital design into a photopolymer printing plate

- Printing a single sided design, in one or two ink colours (or a split fountain - the art of blending several ink colours across the press at once)

- Up to 100 business cards, pre-cut to 55x85mm and available in white Gmund card (a lovely cotton and FSC paper mix) or fashionable greyboard (recycled pulp, soft enough to take a deep impression!)

- Time in the studio - An introduction to The Vicobold (aka The Beast!), my large motorised printing press with the chance to mix the ink, set up the press, and print your cards yourself.

- Advice and/or sourcing of any additional items you may need.

And if we have time...

- An introduction to the Adanas - a chance to print a run of one small item (e.g. swing tags for items you're selling, paper bags, or thank you notes to pop in with online orders!)

You can see reviews of my workshops on Google Maps (just search 'Inky and the Beast'!), and photos from my Adana workshops on Instagram searching the hashtag #inkyworkshops.

THINGS TO CONSIDER

Please only book if you have a finished design ready to go. I will feedback on any changes you need to make in order to make it work well with letterpress. If you're unsure of anything, please get in touch via the Contact page.

If you are after something a little different - more than 100 cards, a different cardstock, or more ink colours, for example - just drop me a note on [email protected] and I can tailor a workshop specifically to your needs.

On the day, snacks will be provided (I'm 90% powered by biscuits but I'll supply some healthier bits too), but please bring a packed lunch in case we are printing past 1pm!

Your order confirmation email can serve as your workshop ticket, but as long as you remember your own name, I'll probably let you in. I will send you directions and further details within a few days of you booking online.

CUSTOM DATE

If none of the dates listed work for you, or you wanted a particular day before a big event, drop me a note! I will squeeze you in if I possibly can :)

PLEASE NOTE: These workshops are not suitable for children under 12 (due to the strength and patience needed to operate the press), or those who cannot stand for long periods of time. If you have any questions about this please do drop me a note.

Cancellation Policy: Two weeks' notice is required for a refund, unless I am able to fill your spot with less notice, in which case I will always do my best to be flexible. Please email me on [email protected]
