As well as the main exhibition featuring lots of information and technology associated with paper-making, craft printing and the type design of Eric Gill; there were hands-on elements - e.g. make your own envelopes, letterpress printing on some beautiful Adana 5' x 8" Presses - and an enticing range of 5 x 8 minute (see what they did there?) evening talks curated by It's Nice That and headlined by Pentagram's Angus Hyland. However, the stand-out talk for me (and many others in the audience) was Jane Stockdale's presentation on the Lake Victoria Disability Project. Sorry Angus ;-)

Business concluded, heavily bearded Grillust™secret agent, Craig Jackson(33), escorted Jim to The Perseverance on the wonderfully named Lamb's Conduit Street, for a 'knees-up' with the GF Smith/It's Nice That! crowd. Apparently a 'small quantity' of alcohol may have been consumed and rebel-rousing might have ensued.
The event runs 'til the end of this week - get to it if you can. And do visit the Lake Victoria Disability Project website :-)
Many thanks to James Groves and everyone at GF Smith, Craig Jackson, It's Nice That! and The Perseverance... you're my best mates you are.
