Saturday, February 8; 10am–1pm CT
Refresh your skills and build confidence in letterpress printing in this love-themed workshop.
Join other printers in choosing colors and wood type to set a short phrase with guidance from the instructor. Simple backgrounds—using decorative type and pressure printing—will be designed in advance to maximize printing time and allow for variation in card design. Participants will work together to lock up type and troubleshoot printing issues. Participants will come away with twenty cards and envelopes. The focus of this in-person workshop is on building community and growing your letterpress skills while creating messages of love.
Register with a friend or family member to explore a new process together or to introduce them to a process you already love.
Level: Beginner; all skill levels welcome. Past participation in Letterpress 1: Printing Basics or a similar introductory letterpress workshop is helpful, but not necessary to enroll in this workshop.
Certificate: 3 hours, Category A or B
