Alan May
My career in printing started with my employment as designer to The Kynoch Press, Birmingham. I later took up design teaching and was employed at Stafford College of Art and in The Department of Typography and Graphic communication at the University of Reading. My practical and research interests include wood-engraving and early letterpress printing.
