_Introduction to Letterpress
The cool touch of decades-old metal type. A firm two-handed impression roll for a copy proof. A deft transfer from composing stick to imposing stone. A gentle tap of the planer. Two quick twists of the locking key and the chase with form is secure. The press is inked, the guides aligned, the chase slips into position, paper is correctly placed and your very first impression is ready to print.
Participants set type, lockup and print on a Chandler and Price Pilot and a Vandercook SP-15--we'll be printing limited edition notesets, as well as posters! Each participant will leave with 15 cards and envelopes, and 5 8-1/2 x 11" posters as lifetime keepsake of their first letterpress experience.
All workshops run 10 am-4:30 pm. Cost is $110, includes materials and a sandwich lunch.

Poetry, meet Art: Letterpress Broadsides
Broadsides are, in today's parlance, posters. But incorporate meaningful texts (and perhaps a bit of decoration), and watch the words take on new meaning and new life. In this workshop, we'll use handset type and decorative elements to create large-format prints of poems that inspire us.
All workshops run 10 am-4:30 pm. Cost of the workshop is $110, and includes 100% cotton paper for 10 11x17 prints, plus a sandwich lunch.
