Ride Print Repeat
Saturday 19th August 2017, 12 – 5pm
This August we’re taking the hugely talented Nell of Studio 25 – and her bike – and her letterpress – on tour!
Starting and finishing here at MCDC we’ll be stopping off at various City Centre locations – including the Rapha Clubhouse and PLANT – and bringing our mobile print workshop with us.
Come along and print your own ‘Ride Print Repeat’ souvenir postcard to take home. The workshop is free and everyone is welcome.

About Nell
Nell Smith produces intricate drawings, lino and screen prints. Drawings begin regimented, gridlike, and then develop organically and instinctively. Taking inspiration from nature, drawing, and the labour behind hand-made work, she enjoys exploring traditional techniques, and the repetitive nature of printmaking.
Nell has run her business from Manchester Craft and Design Centre since 2008, where she designs and prints unisex baby clothing for cool kids, as well as exploring the boundaries of drawing. She also teaches and runs workshops; highlights include working as Associate Lecturer at UCLAN and as Lead Designer on the V&A funded ‘Design For Life’ project. In 2014 she became a member of Hot Bed Press printmaker’s studio in Salford.
In 2016 Nell was awarded the David Cantor Memorial Award from the Devon Guild of Craftsmen, allowing her to undertake the Complete Letterpress Printmaker course, which will be an exciting addition to her practice.
About Rapha
Rapha is more than just a clothing company – in addition to an online emporium of performance roadwear, accessories and publications, the brand includes physical retail locations, luxury travel, and a cycling club with global membership (the Rapha Cycling Club). An ever-expanding network of Clubhouses around the world means that customers can experience the brand in person and immerse themselves in the culture of road cycling. Inside you’ll find a retail space stocked with the latest Rapha products, a café serving fine coffee and food, as well as an extensive programme of live racing, rides and events.
