About this event
Join us for an immersive introduction to letterpress printing! Students will learn to hand set lead and wood type, carve an image with linoleum, and print them together using a Vandercook proof press. We will also cover how to ink the press, lock up the press bed with type, set up for printing and clean the press. Students will work together on the press as we print and learn multiple troubleshooting techniques. By the end of the workshop, everyone will print small editions of their two-color prints to take home. No experience necessary - all are welcome!
