Woodbridge, Words & Woodtype - we recently delivered a workshop with art scholars at @woodbridge_schl and were blown away by what they created 🙌

Each student was given a four letter word and asked to find something in their local area that reflected it and then take photos. These images were collaged with screenprinted patterns and our #pawsey woodtype to produce powerful posters on @gfsmithpapers that showcased their word.

Well done to everyone who took part 👏

ABC on the BBC…

The Local Type’s project with the graphic design students from the University of Suffolk (@uniofsuffolk), ‘A Brief History of Type: Ipswich’ is in the news!

We were interviewed by George King (@georgehenryking) of @bbcsuffolk about the project and exhibition currently being displayed The Hold in Ipswich.

Tutor, Srin Surti said: “(The project) speaks about the visibility and invisibility of history and how it is embedded in our traces in the built environment. It was about getting the students to think about how they could retain that richness of the image but add that communicative potential of type with it. I think it’s got a lot of visual impact - the relationship between the colour, the design, and the history of the location is really interesting.”

Thanks again to all the @uosgraphicdesign students and tutors plus the @suffolkarchives Lucy Wall for their support with bringing The Local Type’s idea to life.

The exhibition continues until Monday 30th June – where you can also buy one of our new Ipswich prints.

This week we had the pleasure of opening our exhibition ‘A Brief History of Type: Ipswich’ at the @suffolkarchives.

FREE to visit until 30th June!

The exhibition showcases our collaboration with the @uosgraphicdesign course. We challenged the graphic design and illustration students to design an A-Z of typographic posters, which combined found type with history, stories and forgotten tales of the local area.

Each poster was printed by the students in the university’s incredible print room, with the advice, guidance and patience of their resident print master, Glen.

Additionally, we have also curated a display of artefacts and print ephemera to highlight F. G. Pawsey, a prominent printer and stationery merchants who once operated throughout Suffolk with premises in Bury St. Edmunds and latterly Ipswich. For this we must thank Nicola Pawsey and her sister for allowing us the opportunity to shine a light their father’s extraordinary objects.

We’d like to thank: @_nigelball, @v_tzomaka, @_janehackett, @srinsurti, Glen, Lucy at @suffolkarchives, @uosgraphicdesign, @uniofsuffolk and @gfsmithpapers for kindly donating the paper.
This exhibition would not have been possible without you!

We’re in a Wayzgoose daze… thanks to everyone who came along to buy a print or say hello and listen to us ramble on about found typography, print and paper.

It was lovely to meet so many other local types, namely @pressedandfolded @carlmiddleton_studiob @lymebaypress and the_hrpress

Thanks for having us @stbridefoundation and to all the volunteers who helped make it happen 👏

The Local Type have been busy over the last couple of months discovering more historic typography in new locations and turning them into beautiful screenprints, on stunning stock by @gfsmithpapers and @gmundpaper

We’ll be selling these and much more at the @stbridefoundation Wayzgoose this Sunday 10 May from 11-4.

If you’re the local type and are in the area, come and say hello, and pick up a print or two!

There may even be the odd historical story to share, uncovered through the letters we’ve found and the people we’ve met along the way.

See you there!
Billy & Robbie

Last week I had the pleasure of attending ‘The Osh Gallery Alphabet’ launch party at @pentagramdesign London.

Echoing the Conways’ Photosetting alphabet designed by Colin Forbes in 1974, the show is a modern interpretation, featuring a delightful collection of typographic posters designed by 24 of the partners.

It was great to catch-up with some familiar faces and meet some new ones too!

The Local Type spent a marvellous couple of days delivering #woodtype workshops to over 100 @colchesterroyalgrammarschool Year 7 students. Teaching them about the wonders of type, print and paper. As you can see ☝️ the enthusiasm and creativity on show was mind blowing 🤯

We even squeezed in a brief history of #colchester

They’re currently working on a @barbarakruger45 project and we hope we inspired them to think about type and image in a different way 🧠

We used lots of beautiful woodtype from our Pawsey collection. More on that soon 👀

If you’re working in education and are interested in us delivering a similar workshop please DM us 👍 your kids will love it 😊
