Introduction to Letterpress

  • IS Projects 17 Northwest 5th Street Fort Lauderdale, FL, 33301 United States (map)

This is a four week course, meeting once a week and is designed to introduce the basic principles of typesetting and letterpress printing.

Whether adding a personal touch to the perfect invitation, broadside, postcard, greeting card or business card, this workshop is designed to teach students the fundamentals of letterpress printing while they design and print their own handset type. Students will learn how to set type, lock up a form, and print using a platen press. This workshop is geared towards both beginning and advanced printers. Printers will experience the collaborative nature of the craft and leave with a stack of their own letterpress prints.
