Digital Detox Letterpress Experience on Dartmoor - Full day workshop in Devon, England
In the studio, there are no computers. Everything we do, we do by hand. In this incredible workshop, you will be offered the opportunity to turn off your phone and get creative. Half the day will be dedicated to making a sketchbook using letterpress printed covers; and half the day will be spent enjoying a walk on Dartmoor.
You can come with ideas, or without. Either way, we'll teach you the basics of letterpress printing and introduce you to our favourite studio processes for dealing with overwhelm and decision paralysis. Then, we'll get outside for some green sketching and joy spotting.
- Morning: studio session to make a sketchbook
- Lunch: break for lunch (available from a local café)
- Afternoon: guided walk on Dartmoor - appropriate for the ability of the group
Depending on the weather forecast, we may reverse the order of the day; however, we will proceed with the studio portion of the workshop rain-or-shine. Regardless of the weather forecast, we recommend you bring waterproofs.
It really is okay if you're not crafty. We'll walk you through everything you need to know (and leave out the stuff you don't need to know).
What's included:
- One-to-one support to design and print a small notebook.
- All supplies.
- Half day in the workshop, with full access to our printing supplies.
- Coffee/tea/cake/lunch are provided.
- You are welcome to bring a friend or family member at no additional charge. Please let us know at the time of booking if there will be one or two people attending. There will only be time to print one notebook design. Larger groups can be accommodated, but please email with details before booking.
- Accommodation can be arranged separately with our marvellous neighbours at Tor Royal B&B or Dartmoor glamping. Links open in a new window.
This also makes a GREAT gift. Simply let us know in the "notes" section when you're making the purchase, and we'll send you a beautifully printed gift certificate that you can give to the lucky recipient. Note: if it's close to the deadline, please purchase a Gift Certificate instead, and the recipient will receive an email-based gift card.
Workshop participants will have access to 15% off all Princetown Press products during their time at the studio.
The workshop is open to everyone, however, there is not an accessible toilet on-site. Participants under the age of 18 will probably benefit from having an older family member or guardian present. The presses are designed to be used while standing, and there is limited seating. Please get in touch if you like to talk through any accommodations that might improve your experience in the studio, or if you have any other questions or concerns about the workshop or facilities.
The workshop is held at our workshop in Princetown, Devon, England. The space is unheated, so please dress warmly if you are booking a workshop during the colder months.
For the guided walk, we can accommodate mobility scooters on one of the "miles without stiles" routes leaving from Princetown. Please let us know ahead of time and we'll plan an appropriate route.

All of our workshops are now private. They are perfect for friends, couples, and a guardian + child.
The studio is tiny. At maximum, we can accommodate two adults, or one adult and one child. The workshop fee includes one or two people. You do not need to pay separately for the second person.
Yes, kids are welcome! Generally speaking, the older the kids, the more likely they'll have the attention span for a multi-hour workshop. You know your little ones best, though.
To book a private workshop: buy a workshop through the website (i.e., on this page). We'll be in touch to find a mutually suitable date. The lead time is generally 1-2 months. If we can't agree on a date, you will receive a full refund. Once the date is agreed in writing (email), the standard cancellation policy will apply.
If you're not sure, please reach out before you book a workshop.

The workshop is held at Tor Royal Workshops, just outside Princetown. Some of the venue is wheelchair accessible, but the presses are designed to be used while standing and there is limited seating. Please get in touch if this will be challenging for you, and we can talk through what accommodations might improve your experience in the studio.
We will do everything we can to accommodate vulnerable workshop participants. This includes masking, keeping the window open, and having hand sanitiser available. You may be asked to wear a mask whilst in the workshop. We hope this is not an imposition, but if it is not possible for you to wear a mask, please let us know in advance.
