About this Workshop:

Students will get an overview of the letterpress process then, using antique wood type, literally flip the script and print both sides of the type using a Vandercook press. Each person will be able to typeset their own word or name. At the end of the Make+Take, all students will leave with a small edition of their prints in two colors.

Level: Beginner—no experience necessary

Registration extended to July 15, 2025 and all materials are provided.

YOUR INSTRUCTOR:

Theresa Esterlund is an artist and educator who lives in Arlington, Virginia. After retiring from a professional career in museum education, she channeled her vision to inspire compassionate connections into a stationery business that reflects the intersection of her artistic and mindfulness practices. Her collages are windows that open to the inside—as well as abstract landscapes and other arrangements. She brings her love of gathering, sorting, and composing to letterpress, which also gives her a path to integrate words and phrases from her poetry.
