NICE & GRAPHIC Letterpress Exhibition

A letterpress exhibition on hope, positivity and love

This exhibition brings the inky, hand-pressed world of Nice & Graphic into our walls.

Founded by London-based designer Michelle Dwyer, Nice & Graphic works from a vintage Vandercook press in a Peckham studio, turning short sayings and everyday joy into tactile, one-of-a-kind prints. This exhibition gathers a body of work built entirely around one theme: messages of hope, in all its forms, for people and places.

On opening night, we're also unveiling a permanent installation on our top floor, a new, site-specific piece that will live in the space long after the show comes down.
