November 18| Letterpress Posters (4 hours)

Join us for this fun, social workshop to see what letterpress printing is all about. During this workshop, you’ll be able to design and print your own poster using vintage type and a traditional Vandercook press. The rich, tactile quality of ink pressed into paper will leave an impression on the lucky recipients of your handmade cards!

Each attendee will be able to choose from a variety of fonts in our collection. With these fonts, they will learn how to set and print their own short saying, phrase, or statement to create a professional one-of-a-kind poster. Our Teaching Artist will share what moveable type is, how it works, why it’s so special, and how its invention changed the world.

November 25 | Analog Screenprinting (4 Weeks)

Need a break from screens? This 4-week class will teach students the basics of screenprinting with a focus on purely analog methods of stencil preparation. Techniques scale up in complexity depending on the ambition and goals of the student, making this class suitable for newcomers and seasoned screen printers alike. Students will develop skills in ink and paper stencil making, screen-filler and drawing fluid, and watercolor monoprinting among others.

Decompress and unplug during this class, while meeting other like minded printers to see what you can accomplish with just a few simple tools on hand.
