Make your own letterpress printed holiday card!
Sunday November 23rd, 1-5 pm

Have you ever been curious about what letterpress is all about? Do you want to send holiday cards to your friends? We’ve got you covered!

In this four hour workshop, you will learn how to design, typeset, and print a one color, 4x6” holiday postcard using our collection of lead and wood type and fun cuts (aka little images).

Each participant will receive 50 prints of their own design from a collective sheet. The singular ink color will be collectively decided on and a variety of paper colors will be provided.

This is a great workshop to begin to learn the basics of letterpress printing and how to print on our Vandercook cylinder press!
