Have you picked up our latest course programme? There's lots to be excited about including this brand new course: Making a Slipcase with Theo Miller!

Over the two days (29th + 30th August) you will learn about measuring up, cutting and gluing board, handling decorative papers and bookcloth. You will become confident with the process and be able to go home and make more cases – this can become addictive!

is a popular tutor here at LPW, regularly teaching letterpress and bookbinding courses. He is a visual artist and printmaker, born in Leicester. He gained a first class degree in Fine Art from De Montfort University in 2014. Miller is currently living and working in Leicester as an Artist and also as a Technician for De Montfort University.

Printmaking, for Miller is an axis, a locus. He describes the beauty of printmaking to be that the final image is always affected by, and integral to the process itself. Miller is currently focusing on letterpress, after being granted the Print Futures Award 2017.

We can't believe it's already been a week since Leicester Print Festival 2026!

Thank you so much to everyone who came along to see us, have a go and learn more about printmaking. We had 384 people come through our doors on Saturday and it was a joy to see a love of print (and birthday cake!) shared amongst our community.

A massive thank you to our 8 volunteers who ensured our activities went without a hitch, to our 3 artist talks who inspired visitors with their practice, and to our 7 studio holders who opened up their working spaces for us to explore. It wouldn't have been possible without you!

And of course a big thank you to all of you who have been tagging us and sharing your photos and stories of printmaking - we look forward to seeing you all again next year!

We're thrilled to share our third Open Studio is .kp !

Surasti (b. 1991) is an Indian-Polish graphic designer and artist based in Leicester. She grew up in Delhi, where she first fell in love with print, textiles, and colour. This led her to study graphic design in Bangalore, culminating in large-scale pieces exploring local histories, and later to an MA in Art History at the Courtauld Institute, specialising in Persian illustrated manuscripts. She has since worked as a designer in the non-profit sector. Alongside this, she continues to focus on her artistic practice, moving between printmaking and painting, finding the space where memory and mark-making meet through forms inspired by everyday scenes and landscapes to capture fleeting moments. Surasti has exhibited in Bangalore, Delhi, Leicester, and London. Since 2023, she has been a member of Leicester Print Workshop, where her studio allows her to move easily between drawing, painting and printmaking.

Join us at Leicester Print Festival on Saturday 13th June to see Surasti's work and learn more about her processes!
