Description

Letterpress is the traditional process of printing by hand using moveable type. This lab will feature a short guided activity to get familiar with assembling & printing a letterpress project. Participants will be able to use an assortment of antique, vintage and newly cut wood type in a variety of exciting fonts and sizes. And we'll learn how to hand ink and print on a Vandercook cylinder press. Complete a simple project in the first hour or stay longer to work on a more involved project.

Due to the equipment used, this program is intended for adults.
