About
Learn how to use wood type, ornaments, and/or cuts to create your design. We'll go over how to lock type securely in a chase and load it into the press. After printing, we'll trim and score our prints to letter size. Envelopes are included. We'll be trading prints, so you can go home with an assortment of your own work and that of your classmates!
Details
We'll take a 30-minute lunch break around 1 pm. Feel free to bring lunch or snack. There is a microwave and refrigerator on the lower level you can use.
