About this Workshop:

Do you love type, paper and ink? Come design and letterpress print your own holiday cards using type from the collection and printing on the Vandercook press. Participants will learn or use existing type-setting skills to set-up their own designs. We will ink the press together and each print a set of cards. 

Level: Beginner – no previous experience necessary!

Registration closes October 24, 2025. Material fees are included with your registration to cover the supplies provided in class. Students may/will need to gather/purchase additional materials for class (see the materials list below). This list will also be provided with the registration confirmation email.
