An Introduction to Letterpress Printing

One day letterpress printing workshops are now being offered in the "Mark Twain Room" in

the Historic Fourth Ward School Museum in Virginia City.

Learn the basics of the 550+ year old art and craft of Letterpress Printing from Steve Robison, an experienced letterpress printer.

Be able to walk away with a special hand printed piece to share with your friends and family, and then if you're really hooked, schedule a time later to come back (for free!) to create and print other letterpress projects of your choosing with guidance from Steve!

We ask that you bring a favorite quote to set in type, as well as a bagged lunch. We'll review what we've learned in the first half of the class over the lunchbreak.

The workshop fee is $50 for nonmembers, $40 for Fourth Ward School Museum members, for one of the Saturday Workshops listed below. All workshops will take place from 11 AM to 4 PM.
