Traditional printing is an endangered craft. Without our help, it won’t survive 😔
Led by @UoYEnglish, the @ThinIcePress is hoping to preserve these skills by creating the York Centre for Print 📃
Can you help save this craft? Support them at: bit.ly/3Uk0bJv

The pledge bar on our crowdfunding campaign is ticking up in a very heartening fashion! Please do donate if you can: it's going to be the most wonderful space and an extraordinary centre for old-fashioned print and ultramodern fabulousness.

Maybe you shouldn't judge a book by its cover... but this is so beautiful it made me pick it up from @foxlanebooks at the #FrostFair with @thinicepress yesterday. Just started it (sorry, existing TBR pile, I couldn't resist) and wow it's gorgeous, weird & amazing! @JuliaArmfield
