When visiting the oldest printing house in the world, you won’t be able to wait to get started yourself. You will discover how type was cast in Christopher Plantin’s time. Arrange letters in mirror image in a composing stick, make up a complete page and print it on a genuine press.
You get to do it yourself. You learn from an expert. You understand how a book was made.
