Wood Type Letterpress Posters - with Katie Nealon

$155.00

3.5 hour workshop | Cost: $155 materials included | Limited to 4 students

*Partial scholarships available, for more info click HERE Please register 30 days prior to the workshop date intended.

This three and a half hour workshop is also another way to experience letterpress for all skill levels and ages. Each student will design and layout a medium sized 11” x 17” poster using our larger wood and metal type. The benefit and fun of working with these, is it’s like playing with blocks. The tactile hands on approach with large shapes helps them fall together on the page, and a nice approach to typesetting.

Each student should leave with 8-12 posters, depending on the time and skill level. It’s not a race, and there is encouragement to try multiple colors, and slight variations, and layering.

Try and think of a simple phrase or saying, something you would like the poster to say, or if you are daring enough…bring yourself and improvise off the cuff.

Please be conscious that cleanup and putting type away is every students responsibility, it does take time, and is part of the full letterpress experience.

Sign up for one or more of these workshops!
