The exhibition focuses on Gingerly Press’s broadside series, “The Printed Walk.”

To play a more active role in Newark, Delaware's artistic & creative community, Lead Graffiti is sponsoring a monthly open house. We will highlight some of our work, including things we’ve collected, letterpress printing, and bookbinding.

We schedule our event on FIRST FRIDAY EVE to avoid conflicting with other Newark and Wilmington FIRST FRIDAY events.

The events will be 5 - 8 pm. Lead Graffiti is in the Sandy Brae Industrial Park, just off Otts Chapel Road. 120 Sandy Drive, Newark, DE. The seventh building is on the right.

We will have light snacks and drinks. Additionally, we will display examples of our clamshell boxes to promote upcoming workshops. Don’t get a babysitter. Bring the kids. Usually, what we schedule will work for kids down to the age of 6.

We have a 2,200-square-foot studio space and are willing to tour you through it, explain letterpress, or any of the projects we’ll have on display or from our collection produced by others.

Please feel free to email us with any questions. There is plenty of free parking, and the studio is wheelchair accessible.

We offer workshops focused on letterpress printing and bookmaking. Also, you can rent the equipment for your projects after you complete our workshops. We also often work on personal projects, typically broadsides (larger sheets printed on one side), to fulfill some unique focus. We will offer up to 3 people to collaborate with us on the project, and each will receive 2 copies of the finished piece. We are currently conceptualizing a broadside to celebrate BLACK HISTORY MONTH in our heads (we try to avoid working from sketches). BLACK HISTORY IS WHITE HISTORY is a general idea.
