An evening that opened up the craft of die-stamping, with talks, a live press and printed pieces made for the night. Hosted with GF Smith on Thursday 11 June 2026.

Planned and delivered the evening end to end, from partners and speakers to guests and the running order on the night.
Named the evening and gave the design team carte blanche on the printed pieces, then pushed them past the first drafts to test the limits of print: die-stamped invitations and ticket sleeves, envelopes, a booklet explaining the craft, cards and drinks menus.
Brought die-stamping to life with a live press demonstration and a panel talk.
Hosted the evening and welcomed guests.
