In-Person

This workshop is designed for participants 14 years of age or older who have never used a wooden letterpress. Participants will select an image or graphic design element to accompany their text; lay out text, images, and design elements on the bed of a letterpress; and print multiple copies of their single sheet.  Afterwards, participants will clean and resort the type and design elements they have used. Each participant will take home at least two copies of their printed sheet. Bring a text of not more than 150 characters (spaces included) to set and print. Experienced shop assistants will guide you through the process.  Registration is required. Limited to 4 participants. 

This program is funded by the Friends of the Public Library.
