Letterpress & Printmaking
Learn about the history & art of letterpress printing! In the Book Arts letterpress studio, students will handset a poem/text using antique type (letter by letter!) to collaboratively create a hand-printed piece on a 1950s printing press. This is a two-part workshop exploring hand-set type the first session, and printing methods the second session. All participating students will hand-print and receive a copy from the limited edition of prints created.

This workshop is FREE, aimed at young students aged 12–18, and limited to 12 participants.
