About this Workshop:
Come out for a fun evening to see what letterpress is all about! 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!
