Workshops
Get Your Hands Dirty and Learn Letterpress!
You can learn how to print letterpress!
We offer introductory and advanced workshops for those desiring to learn more about letterpress printing.
The introductory session is a hands-on workshop focused on the basics of letterpress printing, tools of the trade, and history of the craft. During the workshop you will personalize and print a keepsake on a Vandercook cylinder press.
The advanced session focuses on operation and use of the Heidelberg “windmill” platen press and requires the introductory workshop as a prerequisite.
Each workshop is typically 3 hours.
