from The Firecracker Press:
Letterpress Printing Spring/Summer 2011 – No 5 (2011_NO5_SS). 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 just about anything!
Fresh out of ideas? No worries. Our instructor can help you get your creative juices flowing.
DEADLINE -JULY 29th – space is limited.
