What travel itineraries have you dreamed up in the past two years of limited travel and closed borders? Join us for a fun night learning about wood type and letterpress on the Vandercook press. Participants will choose several favorite (or dream!) destination airport codes to print in wood type. Both presses will be set-up with examples for an overview of using the press before we swap out the letters so everyone can pull their very own itinerary prints.
Level: All levels welcome – No previous letterpress experience needed.
Registration closes June 5, 2022 and includes all materials.
Registration includes all materials—just come ready to have fun! In addition, you may want to bring the following for class:
