*LETTERPRESS PRINTING: A POETIC TRADITION*
*APRIL 17&18 12-5pm ~$150~limited to 10 students*
This workshop serves as an introduction to the history and practice of letterpress printing. Learn how to set text by hand using metal foundry type and prepare the type for printing on the Vandercook #4 letterpress. Explore the possibilities of combining wood & metal letters to create a typographic broadside in multiple colors and layers. Learn to ink the press, print, and make the necessary adjustments to produce an edition of 10 fine-printed original poetry broadsides. This workshop includes a month’s access to the shop so students have plenty of time to complete their project on their own schedule. Materials and paper are provided, but students should bring a short poem or piece of prose (4-12 lines) that they would like to work with.
