Dartmoor, Wild Ink, and Letterpress: A Taster Session
For creatives looking for new approaches to their engagement with nature, and those curious about letterpress but not ready for a full workshop or solo retreat.
Our taster sessions are limited to 3 participants per session to ensure personalised attention.
£125 includes all materials, refreshments, and take-home resources
2026 Dates
- 20 March
- 17 July
- 16 October
The sessions are from 9am-12:30 and include:
Guided Moorland Walk
Learn about the history and ecology of Dartmoor, including an introduction to some of the plants we use in our practice. This will be a short walk of about an hour. Plan for rain, although sometimes there is sunshine, so bring sunscreen too just in case.
Tea & Intro to Letterpress and Wild Inks
Kettle on, and an intro to letterpress printing and our Wild Colour practice. This also gives us a chance to warm up, or cool down after our walk and play with ink we've foraged from Dartmoor.
Hands-On Letterpress Session
Print a souvenir. Learn traditional “kiss impression” technique for new and vintage wood and metal type.
Reflection & Light Lunch
Discussion and take-home resources. This will be a light lunch of scones. With sufficient notice, we may be able to accommodate dietary restrictions. Please secure your spot first to avoid disappointment. If we are unable to accommodate for food, a refund will be offered.
You will take home:
- Notebook for recording nature observations and sketches
- Letterpress printed souvenir
- Handout including a basic ink-making recipe and information about our processes
- New ideas on how to engage with nature (even if it's not the wilds of Dartmoor)
This taster session will be held at our workshop, just outside Princetown on Dartmoor. Detailed driving instructions will be emailed once you've registered. There is (free) parking on-site for workshop participants.
All of our papers are recycled, and British where possible. We can provide you specific details on certifications each paper has, and the mill where they were made.
