Type Slam: Sat, Aug 24, 2024

Celebrate Mother's Day at the Printing Museum!

In this half-day Letterpress Woodtype Type Slam, participants will learn a bit of letterpress history, how to compose a message in wood type and lock it into a forme, and how to ink and print on a press -- all while creating a poster celebrating mothers. The four hours will be packed with lots of fun as Lorna & Janet share their love and knowledge of letterpress. At the end of the workshop, there will be a print exchange to share the fabulous creations. Everyone will take home a portfolio of prints. This workshop is hands-on and very active. Bring your mom or someone who is a mother figure to you -- and make something together. All levels welcome!
