Letterpress Open Lab

About this event

Letterpress is the traditional process of printing by hand using moveable type. This lab will feature a short guided activity to get familiar with assembling & printing a letterpress project. Participants will be able to use an assortment of antique, vintage and newly cut wood type in a variety of exciting fonts and sizes. And we'll learn how to hand ink and print on a Vandercook cylinder press. Then, you'll have time to create your own simple project. New to letterpress? Please arrive at the start of the program for a 20-minute demonstration of how to use our equipment. Due to the equipment used, this program is intended for adults. L
