Going Large
We are excited to announce that we are working with People Powered Press in a take-over of the ground floor gallery space in August - September.
The Guinness Book of Records largest letterpress press in the world will be coming to Hot Bed Press in August. People Powered Press, based in Saltaire are bringing their press on tour for the first time and are working with four groups:
● Talk About It Mate: men’s mental health and peer support group
● Stepping Stones Creative: garden centre group of adults with learning disabilities
● Take Action Together / Rock Street residents
● Hot Bed Press members - Complete Letterpress groups
Writers, designers and poets in residence with PPP will work with the groups to come up with meaningful, impactful statements and powerful messages to be printed large on the world record breaking press and specially designed type. By August this will culminate in an exhibition of words and type that fill the large ground floor gallery, and will come with interactive have-a-go workshops and open sessions.
