Visitors to the Shop

Over the years, many people have dropped by the print shop to help out, learn to set type, give the handpress a go, or just take a tour.  Here’s a rogues’ gallery, featuring some of them. (Note: many of these photos show our first facility on Mullock Street in St. John’s.)

Want to join this motley crew?  Drop by! Visitors are always welcome; you can find directions and details here.  Interested in workshops, volunteer opportunities or group tours? Contact the press.
