Join us on Saturday March 22nd for a free, collaborative typesetting workshop and leave with your very own printed, letterpress poster!
About this Event

This workshop will begin with a 30-minute discussion on the Declaration of Independence and the use of the printing press. Participants will then develop their own line of text (between 5 and 15 words), to compose in type for a group poster. Everyone will have a chance to print some posters themselves on a Vandercook printing press.

All are welcome to sign up– no prior experience is necessary. This is a great chance to learn letterpress and more about the history of The Declaration of Indepence and printmaking inside a local print studio.

This event is part of a larger project through Mural Arts called Printmaking by the People which aims to empower local printmakers and small arts organizations while discussing the relevance of print in the birth of our country. If you were to write the Declaration today, what kind of rights would you include? We want to capture the voices of Philadelphians as the 250th anniversary of this document approaches in 2026. Come be part of this citywide project and have a chance for your work to be shown at the Free Library or serve as inspiration for an upcoming mural!

**Please note video and photography may be used at these events for promotional purposes of the project. **
