Letterpress Basics – Holiday Workshop with the Firecracker Press



Letterpress Basics – Holiday Workshop (CLASS1).
Letterpress Basics Holiday Workshop is a comprehensive five-week course focusing on the traditional methods of letterpress printing. Students can learn the basics of handsetting metal type, how to make a woodcut or photopolymer plate, mixing ink by hand, and learning the ins and outs of choosing paper. Our Vandercook printing presses and antique platen presses will be available for use. Each student will create an editioned piece of their design to exchange with all students, so everyone leaves the class with a small portfolio of fine prints! No prior experience needed. This is a perfect course to design and handprint your own holiday card or gift.

DEADLINE – OCTOCBER 31 – space is limited.

Course schedule (5 weeks):
TUESDAY evenings from 6:30pm-9pm
