Typography Print 6 Hour Workshop. Join us for a 6 hour workshop where you will create a unique print and learn the basics of letterpress!

 

On the Day

Chris will teach a small group or one-to-one, the basics of traditional letterpress printing in this afternoon workshop. After some basic prep in general principles and typography, you’ll learn how to hand-set type on a composing stick, transfer it to a chase and lock it up for printing. From there you’ll learn how to ink up, operate and clean an Adana 8×5 tabletop press; The Adana eight-five is the most popular of ‘starter’ presses.

The session is ideal for people of all letterpress abilities who are interested in the creative aspect of letterpress.

 

Create

Projects include creating a small print, some coasters, greetings cards or postcards and take home a bundle of letterpress printed goodies to show your friends and family (there may be a small extra charge for materials, if you want to print a longer run). Additional charges apply for extra materials if required.

Private tuition on your own Adana, if you wish, is also available. More information can be found here.
