Six different Letterpress studios will collaborate on an exhibition in Tokyo, Osaka and in Fukuoka. While each of them has a distinctive style and employ unique techniques, they have worked together under a common theme – “what does London mean to you?” Stephen Kenny from A Two Pipe Problem Letterpress will make an appearance at the opening, and will be running a workshop here in Fukuoka. This is a rare chance to discover the beauty of letterpress and its captivating artistry.
