Platen Press Operation - Sat, Aug 8, 2026

In this introductory workshop, participants will explore the possibilities of letterpress platen printing using both tabletop and floor model presses. There will be discussions about and demonstrations of oiling the press, locking a form into the chase, packing, setting gauge pins, inking, feeding the press, and of course printing! All levels welcome for this educational and very hands-on workshop.
