Group Tour Programmes
|
The Penrith Museum of Printing is pleased to offer two new tour programmes
especially designed
for schools and community groups.
Both sets of tours are
designed to provide participants with an insight into the development of
the printed word and the art of letterpress printing. |

Like many arts and crafts that have disappeared over time, the art of letterpress
printing has all but vanished and given way to the computer based
technologies of today.
With these things in mind, our
"Schools Programme"
has been designed
to expose young people
to past technologies so that by seeing, hearing,
and interacting they
can have a better understanding of the
printing progress of the past that opened up learning and understanding to the world
through the printed word.
Our programme
can be tailored to meet the needs of primary, secondary and tertiary level students.
