Intro to Letterpress: Broadside Poster with Mixed Type
Description: Come get a taste for letterpress printing in this special weekday class, taught by guest instructor, Meredith Miller. Historically, the small, text-based posters called “broadsides” were proclamations, calls to action, announcements, or literary excerpts. In response to a loose prompt (supplied by the instructor ahead of time), each participant in this one-night workshop will compose a line of type for a group broadside. We’ll learn how to lock up a print form, and how to ink, operate, and clean a platen press. Participants will take home 5-10 posters each.
