Learn the basics of letterpress printing at Artspace at Untitled! During this introductory workshop, participants will learn everything they need to successfully start incorporating this historic medium into their own art and design practices. Working on Artspace’s Vandercook proofing press, we will cover what’s what in the letterpress studio, how to select and compose type, press operation, maintenance, and how to pull a quality letterpress print — all while discussing the history and contemporary uses of this delightfully hands-on printing method. All materials provided and ages thirteen and up are welcome. There is free parking at ARTSPACE for all participants.
Price: $45 per person
