Lego Printing Workshop

with Stirchley Printworks

Stirchley Printworks host a free session for families at Ikon Gallery.

Their Lego printing workshops have been hugely popular across print fairs and in their own studio. This is a fun and accessible printmaking technique for the whole family to enjoy – use lego blocks to create an original design, roll out your ink and print your own poster or card on a mini printing press.

Stirchley Printworks is a fully-equipped, open access print studio in South Birmingham. They have also created a limited edition screen print, celebrating Ikon and Wolverhampton School of Art, available online at Ikon Shop.

Start the Press!

The centrepiece of Start the Press! is a vintage, flatbed printing press from Wolverhampton School of Art, taking its position in the gallery as a form of protest or occupation in the tradition of the student art-school sit-ins of the 1960s, and in response to the current challenging economic landscape. A cohort of West Midlands printmakers will operate the press, producing original prints and filling the gallery walls as work is made in real time.
