Letterpress Workshop

Tour the Presses

Head on down to Grand Avenue and try out a Letterpress Workshop. Here’s what you’ll do:

We will demonstrate how to operate our family of 7 presses and show you samples of previous print projects.

Discover the analog world that still exists.

Studio & Artist Prints

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.

Metal & Wood Type

Orientation regarding the type, images, paper and ink that is available to use.

Check out our many type cabinets and the metal and wood type that you will get to use to make your posters or other stationery projects.

Hands-on Printing Experience

Create Your Own Unique Print

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.

Choose Your Printed Items

Everyone can print their posters, coasters, or stationery. People often have several projects. You can print as many items as you have time for.

Workshop Clean Up

The key to a successful print experience is keeping things organized – put things back where you got them, please.
