Traditional printing techniques such as letterpress are no longer used as widely as they once were and are increasingly at risk of being lost as a form of craft. This decline has made access to both the machinery and the knowledge required to practice letterpress more limited, creating a barrier for creatives . 

In response, this project proposes a letterpress club that provides access to traditional printing equipment, guided learning, and a collaborative environment. By creating a space where digital design can be extended into physical making, the club aims to encourage experimentation, support skill development, and contribute to the preservation of letterpress through an accessible and community-driven approach.
