Class Description - 2 Hour Class (3:00 pm - 5:00 pm)
Workshop Overview
This hands-on introductory letterpress workshop invites participants of all skill levels to experience the magic of setting type and printing by hand. No prior experience is needed! Just curiosity and a love of design.
Participants will explore the basics of handset type using our extensive collection of lead and wood typefaces. After learning to compose a design, each participant will hand-set their own layout, select from a wide range of ink colors, and print a custom set of handmade cards on one of our historic printing presses.
Each attendee will leave with a small edition of their own letterpress-printed notecards or mini prints, perfect for gifting, correspondence, or framing.
