Learn your way around the letterpress studio as you create an edition of hand printed letterpress posters. We’ll cover the basics of typesetting for those who are new to letterpress and focus on designing physically, using what the print shop has to offer. You’ll learn to mix inks, operate letterpress equipment and practice inking techniques.
