Come along! Tomorrow we’ve curated and produced a mega Friday 'Late' at the Museum of London with a load of amazing friends. It’s in @timeoutlondon Five of the Best this week, featuring performances, dancing, things to do, ideas and other stuff, including a whole radio station.

Nuts & Muttons - a specimen book documenting (in playful use) the 76 faces that make up the collection of lead type held @rca. The result of a project which ran over two academic years, including the work of 17 Royal College of Artvisualcomm students (with support from Ian Gabb and myself).

Along with a group of students, I’ll be running an Introduction to Letterpress workshop - tomorrow @thecassviscomm - open to all. There are still places available - sign up at eventbrite.co.uk/e/introduction…
