Mr Smith uses original wooden and metal type pieces in his half-tonne letterpress workshop to create one-off prints and exquisite graphics using a process rarely still seen in design today.

Mr Smith himself is in the Tom Dixon Shop Thursday evening – Sunday designing and printing bespoke Christmas cards and inviting visitors to get their hands dirty and have a go at creating a unique printed Christmas gift themselves.

Clever cards included a Christmas tree print formed from the space inside of the letter A. Click here to hear Mr Smith talking through his process and here to see a taster of the letterpress in action.
