Intermediate Printing Workshop
In-Person
Previous letterpress printing experience (for example, the Center for the Book Beginning Letterpress Workshop) is desirable, but not required. In this intermediate workshop, participants will design and print a handbill featuring text and images. Please come to the first session with a 150-character text (including spaces) and a drawing or an idea for an image related to the text. At the first session, participants will carve their image into a linoleum block and set the type for their text. At the second session participants will lay their type and image on the press and print the handbills. Afterwards, participants will clean and resort the type they have used. Each participant will take home two copies of their printed handbill.
Please bring a text of no more than 150 characters (spaces included) and an idea for a related image to the first meeting. Participants must commit to attending sessions on both May 20 and May 22. Experienced shop assistants will guide you through the process. Participants must be 14 years of age or older.
