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 (@PrOGPaul) for manning the stall.

Work in progress from our Artist in Residence, Connie Flynn. Connie is working toward a social-history-inspired exhibition (and, we hope, a talk at the Museum) combining text and textiles ... You can also see her work in the exhibition "Making the Rounds".

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. A real learning curve! The exhibition plan is coming together nicely.

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.

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