Introduction to Letterpress
Get hands-on with the art of letterpress in this beginner-friendly workshop. We’ll explore the basics of printing on a press, from setting up a design to inking and pulling your very first prints. Along the way, you’ll learn about the history of letterpress, the different kinds of presses, and the tools and materials that bring this centuries-old craft to life.
Each participant will work together to create collaborative prints to take home—while experiencing the unique textures and tactile beauty that only letterpress can offer. No prior experience required—just bring your creativity and a willingness to get inky!
