Seeking for UK internship in Letterpress Printing
I am a professional with over 26 years of experience in the graphic industry, from machine operation to production management. I am looking to move into fine art letterpress. I am meticulous, I am a hard worker and experienced in letterpress, hot foil stamping and embossing.
I am presently involved in a three months intensive English training program that is totally funded by the Languedoc Regional Council in France. This training includes a professional work placement in UK (Cardiff, Bristol, or Birmingham Regions) with the Leonardo European Program from July 17 to September 18, 2010 and would be totally free of charge for the company who would accept me in his workshop.
I would be very happy to answer any questions you may have about this application and thank you in advance for your response.
Sincerely,
Pascal Guillorit
