Launch Letterpress & Offset Printing at Community Printshop

This Spring, Spudnik embarked on an epic mission to expand the boundaries of community printmaking!

We just launched a Kickstarter campaign to bring to life 3 letterpresses & an offset press. Once we complete this project, we can share our movable type and photo polymer plate equipment with Chicago artists. We will also provide unprecedented opportunities for Chicago artists to use offset printing to create self-published zines, newsletters, comics, chapbooks, and other printed ephemera.

Our kickstarter campaign will culminate in a permanent series of community letterpress classes and affordable use of our presses through our Open Studio program.

To help our cause, pledge our project, tell your friends, and think up print-based projects!

Even if you are dirt poor, I highly encourage you to at least watch the video. The amazing time-based art was created by Kyle Obriot!
