Thin Ice Press York

A new Centre for Print has opened in York, celebrating the city's rich printing press history. There are to be workshops and events, and soon a gallery and shop, and it has a museum element with great iron printing presses in use that date back to the 1850s. Prof Helen Smith is head of University of York's English Department, which helped launch a temporary version after lockdown and has now secured philanthropic and grant funding for a permanent home.
