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