Have you ever wanted to learn letterpress printing? Are you looking to create posters or work on a personal project but need more space? Join Kath Yarkosky for a two-hour open workshop held every first Thursday of the month! Whether a beginner or an experienced printer, you'll find a supportive community and space to explore our wood and lead-type collection. We have a Vandercook Universal #1 press, a Galley proofing press, and a large selection of inks. The workshop will provide various papers for proofing and printing.

Students provide:

Any materials you wish to run through the press should be relatively flat. Suitable items include dried plants, paper cut-outs, clothing, and stuffed animals (without their stuffing). If you have any questions about the materials, please contact Kath at kath AT frontlinearts DOT org. Additionally, bring a sketchbook to jot down ideas and take notes. Frontline will provide the other materials needed for this course.
