LETTERPRESS LITE
June 22 & 23 @ 9:00 am – 3:00 pm EDT
$95.00 – $135.00
Ever feel like breaking away from traditional approaches to printmaking? Perhaps you have a lot to “say” and want to incorporate wording in your work but are not exactly sure how to go about it. This is your chance to learn all there is to know about letterpress printing through alternative printmaking methods. In this 2-day workshop you will be taught typographical terminology and typesetting techniques through fun and engaging projects.
Here you will be given the freedom to question the idea of what a print is and explore various materials and mixed media to develop your own type language. This workshop is a collaborative and supportive space open to everyone. No experience necessary.
