Stanley Donwood and Dan Richards will discuss, in a rambling and discursive manner, some ways in which letterpress printing might be used in ways which may horrify printers.

Learn how the desktop publishing revolution of the late 20th century led inevitably to the establishment of the Glastonbury Free Press, and many other instances of irresponsibility, carelessness and stupidity performed by Mr Donwood and his various collaborators.

There will be many digressions, multiple threads lost and countless meanings mangled.

You will not learn anything from this event.
