Creative Makers (2017 - 2018) aims to innovate the traditional craft sectors of letterpress and printing through the co-creation of 4 themed ‘kids’ fablabs’ - creative spaces for children inspired by the newest approaches in tinkering, making, and the fablab movement.
The Creative Makers’ partners and four selected artists will co-create new innovative and interactive workshops tailored for school and family groups. The fablabs will be places where children will have the opportunity to experiment with the artisanal tradition of letterpress and printing, alongside modern digital fabrication techniques.
