About this Event

Start printing with wood and metal type and our giant stash of images. Set up your project on our Line-O-Scribe; Showcard Long Master; Vandercook 01 or Potter presses. Use our paper, ink, and supplies to print your own posters, cards, coasters, and more...

> Brief tour of our 6 presses, with demos and printed samples. We will show you how to operate these presses and samples of previous projects. Discover the analog world that still exists.

> We will tour the studio and show you all of the prints from artists and printers around the world. Great opportunity to take pictures in front of our amazing poster walls.

>Orientation regarding the type, images, and paper that are available to use. Check out our many type cabinets with metal and wood type that you will get to use to make your posters or other stationery projects.

> Participants then set their own type (with ongoing instruction) and set the forms up to be printed. Get a little inky! We supply the aprons.

> PRINTING! everyone can print their posters, coasters, or stationery. People often have several projects. You can print as many items as there is time for.
