The Printed Word
Session Two: June 2-14

The Printed Word
Do you love language, lyrics, poetry, a beautifully written headline, or a perfect turn of phrase? Letterpress is an excellent medium for putting ideas and words on paper. This workshop will cover the basics of letterpress printing and push into complexity using the printed word as our vehicle for exploration. We will cover various approaches to typesetting, printing, and creating our own letterforms in ways that come together in unity on the page. Our work will be informed by daily demonstrations and discussions and the work of designers and printers who use language and typography in engaging ways. Students will leave this workshop with small editions and monoprints of their explorations.
All levels. Letterpress studio.
