A misty day at Blickling Hall, where the Museum is currently in Residence ... We open to the public again in April, but in the meantime there is much going on behind the scenes, as we work to recruit new Trustees and Volunteers, and to find a new permanent home for the Museum.

A design project takes shape at the @norwichprintingmuseum. Julia Watson @juliagraphics_ uses metal and wooden type and quads to make letterforms for her entry into #prhdesignaward for Penguin Books UK ... Good luck, Julia.

Before and after pictures of a recent bookbinding repair @norwichprintmuseum, made to a copy of "The printers' vade-mecum and ready reference" (1881). Thanks to our wonderful bookbinding volunteers for taking on this work ...

One of the smallest presses at the @norwichprintmuseum is the Adana "Hand Quarto", seen here at last year's Print Party in Norwich. We have two at the Museum, plus an example of an early model, mostly made of wood (possibly by Donald Aspinall, the founder of Adana, himself) ...

One of the smallest donations to the Museum recently was an example of the text of the Lord's Prayer cast upon a single 12-point (pica) piece of type. You might not be able to see it ... But it is there. It was produced as a promotional curiosity by the Monotype Corporation.

Some early flowers from our Artist in Residence, Connie Flynne, who began to work with our type and presses on Friday. Her work will continue each Friday for the next five weeks.

Artist in Residence, Connie Flynn said, she had so much to consider at NPM on Friday – the type style and size, scale, spacing , paper, colour of ink – too many options. And then SO many ideas that develop from each process ... The exhibition plan is coming together nicely.

A triumphant week for our Artist in Residence, Lacey Law (#laceylawprints). Three letterpress broadsides and a magnificent woodcut of buzzards at Blickling (only a proof shown here – more images will follow)!

A triumphant appearance at the Norwich Independent Book and Zine Fair last week. Many keepsakes were printed, new friends were made, and even a few zines created ... Thanks to Gill Renouf, Florence Okoye and Paul W. Nash (Paul W. Nash) for manning the stall.
