Tom Boutlon considers language and the way words flow an important part of his work, as they are the starting point for all of his design and print projects. His natural calling is to learn new skills, often skills that are considered obsolete or dead to bring them back and revive interest in them.

Images of printing equiptment :
Pictured are a couple of the printing presses I have restored and own, if you are looking for people to do interactive elements during the exhibition I am open to doing this. The images provided are of presses / setup that I have used before to allow the public to have a go themselves (whilst supervised by myself) – wether that be on a old Adana hand press printing notebooks or a full size jobbing press.
