Tiskar za en dan

Did you know that printing a single book once required more than ten different professions, or that an entire page was composed from countless individual letters? At the tipoRenesansa Studio by the Ljubljanica River, the story of centuries-old printing craftsmanship unfolds before you. Opening wooden drawers reveals hundreds of small lead letters, larger wooden characters, punctuation marks, spacing blocks, and tools, while historic printing presses surround you, looking more like museum pieces than working machines. This experience helps you understand just how complex, demanding, and physically heavy the world of analog printing once was.

But this is not only about observing the past, it is also about creating. With guidance from a master printer, you explore the wooden letters, compose your own design, and apply ink using a hand roller. You then pull the press across the paper and witness your unique print come to life. You can continue experimenting with shapes, colors, and shading, shaping a truly personal creation to take home. Let the patina of half a millennium of printing history inspire your creativity in this hands-on experience, available in Slovenian and English.
