PRINT/LETTERPRESS – SUMMER SESSION 7
August 11-16, 2024 (4 STUDIO DAYS)
Alexander Lee Landerman
Letterpress Fundamentals

In this session students will explore the fundamentals of letterpress printing on the Vandercook press. We will delve into the essential elements: from typesetting and cleaning to blend-rolls and drying agents. Students will gain an understanding of typography and confidence in their ability to use movable type as they create evocative poster editions. They can expect to produce 2-3 small editions of letterpress-printed posters based on prompts generated by the group. All levels. Letterpress studio.
