This hands-on workshop introduces participants to the complete letterpress process: selecting and arranging hand-set metal type in a composing stick, mixing oil-based inks to a consistent tack, loading the press, and running a short edition of prints on quality cotton paper. Instructors explain the history of each piece of equipment and demonstrate how to troubleshoot common issues like uneven impression and ink coverage. Students leave with a small stack of finished prints and enough knowledge to understand what they are looking at the next time they handle printed ephemera.
