Unlike
many obsolete technologies, letterpress hasn’t vanished. Letterpress
has been seized by artists, and has been transformed into a 21st Century
art-making medium. There’s a letterpress resurrection going on, and you
can be part of it. In this introductory course, you will learn type
setting by hand, locking up, Vandercook press basics, and ink
modification; you will also learn about paper as a receptacle for
printing. Class Limit is 15.
