    Return of Shipley Wayzgoose

    I’m delight­ed that Roger and Nick have been able to host again the Ship­ley Wayz­goose. It’s my local fair — so I’m biased! — but it’s a won­der­ful day meet­ing great peo­ple.

    11 June 2022, 11am to 4pm at the Kirk­gate Cen­tre, Ship­ley.

    The Wayz­goose now has it’s own Ins­ta account, too.

    We will then pro­mote anyone’s work/business who joins in on the day as long as the work being shared is appro­pri­ate and adheres to the above guide­lines. 

    Our aim is to cel­e­brate the fan­tas­tic wealth of cre­ativ­i­ty, trade and craft with­in the let­ter­press and print­ing com­mu­ni­ties around the globe, with the St Bride Library and Print Work­shop cham­pi­oning them at its heart.
