The Firecracker Press's Letterpress Printing Spring 2012 – No1 (2012_NO1_S). is a comprehensive five week course focusing on the traditional methods of letterpress printing.

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.
