Learn the art and mechanics of printing on a classic platen press! This hands-on workshop introduces the essential skills for safe and confident operation of tabletop and floor model platen presses. You’ll explore how to set up a form, adjust packing and impression, register paper, and pull crisp, consistent prints.
Perfect for beginners or anyone looking to refresh their pressroom know-how, this class focuses on building an understanding of press anatomy, inking, and troubleshooting common challenges. By the end, you’ll have printed your own small edition and gained the confidence to continue independent projects in the studio.
