About this Workshop:
Come out for a fun evening to see what letterpress is all about! This month we’re celebrating Women’s History Month. You’ll get an overview of the letterpress process then get a chance to experience printing mini posters you typeset yourself on our proofing presses. At the end of the evening, you’ll leave with a small edition of mini posters you printed yourself. Perfect to keep or share with friends as gifts.
Level: Beginner – no experience necessary!
Registration closes March 11, 2025 and includes all materials.

CLASS MATERIALS LIST:
Registration includes all materials—just come ready to have fun! In addition, you may want to bring the following items for class:
- (optional) Personal apron (we’ll have extras handy) and/or wear clothes that can get inky
- (optional) Pen and paper for any note-taking
- (optional) A quote from your favorite female hero or some other motivational phrase. Think short phrases—5-8 words—as you’ll be typesetting it one letter at a time!
Note: For your safety we also recommend short sleeves only, close-toed shoes, and that long hair be tied back.
