Print/Process/Production
Letterpress is a democratic art form; it disseminates information widely through its ability to produce multiples. Whether you are experienced or new to letterpress, this workshop will explore this democratic idea and what it means to learn, share, and reproduce. Students will gain knowledge in multiple printing methods and processes, including handset type, polymer plate printing, die cutting, wood and linoleum relief printing as well as experimental techniques. Front loaded with technical information and small collaborative projects, this workshop introduces print techniques and encourages students to think outside of their own creative default. Students will have time to journey into their own self-guided projects and can expect to leave with a new, diverse portfolio of prints that exemplify traditional and experimental techniques and explorations. All levels. Letterpress studio.
