Roy and Martijn Make a Book

Our Dutch friends, printers Martijn van der Blom and Roy Scholten, have launched a fundraising campaign for a book about printing with LEGO, The Hilversum Method:

In 2023 we made our first book, showcasing a selection of projects from the first ten years of printing: Print & Play. The Art of LEGO® Letterpress.

Since then, we regularly get questions about how we do it. Because people all over the world are now happily printing with LEGO®. But not always with the quality and richness of forms that can be achieved using the Hilversum Method.

In this book, we will explain how it works, and why it’s such an endlessly fascinating way of working.

We’ll explain the technical aspects of designing, building and printing. And go into the specific creative and artistic opportunities in this approach to image making.

The book will be available in both Dutch and English.

You may recall our own experience printing in Hilversum with Roy and Martijn last year: they are creative, talented, and generous printers; you will not go wrong supporting their campaign.
