Plus Festival at Birmingham

I attended the Plus Festival which had some interesting workshops and design work, and talks included Airside and Studio Output. It was great experimenting around with the letterpress letters. The amount of ink, bleed and the how the ink transfered to the paper all made for a more tactile design.







It was great to see Gabriel from Hummerstone doing some actual stone carving. He hand rendered the letterforms over the course of the event and began carving them in slate for a headstone for John Baskerville as part of the Baskerville Project. A real craftsman at work. (see image below)
