Type cleaning workshops

If you enjoy the meditative act of organising things, you'll love our type cleaning sessions where we clean, sort, catalogue, and rehome our unique collection.

Join our vibrant community every Wednesday 2-4pm at the Chinese Scholars' Studio 曉 水 齋, Rankine Brown Building, University Library, Level 0, Kelburn Campus. We also have a special Chinese Cultural Heritage Prize for our VUW student volunteers thanks to Mrs Elizabeth Garrett. Check out the inaugural 2025 winning entry: a zine by JinXu Li, studying for her Master of Museum and Heritage Practice.
