CFPR for Academia

The Centre for Fine Print Research has developed strong links and partnerships with World leading academic institutions over the years. The IMPACT conference is our largest international conference and involves a great deal of academic collaboration and contributions. When the conference isn't held in Bristol the centre works closely with the host institutions. In 2011 Monash University, are hosting Impact 7 in Melbourne, Australia.

Current CPD Courses -

"The CFPR's new portfolio of professional development courses is designed to deliver cutting-edge professional development with a practical focus."
Feedback from our recent Letterpress course:

“Tutor was excellent, extremely well informed and enthusiastic. The best aspect of the course was the small group so we were allowed a lot of time on the press and room to work”

“Excellent, helpful, patient, clear, supportive, friendly – great tutors and brilliant facilities. Really good course – I have worked hard every day, learned lots and have some satisfactory pieces of work at the end”

“Excellent support from a tutor who had a great knowledge of the subject. This allowed me to produce a large volume of high quality prints”

“I found the tutor to, not only be knowledgeable in the field of letterpress, but friendly and supportive. Being able to put into practice what we’d been taught was particularly good. Producing the photopolymer plates was one of the highlights.”
