About this Workshop:
Come explore the world of pressure printing on our Vandercook presses using paper templates that we will design and cut out ourselves. This technique is fun to experiment with and allows for atmospheric effects not usually seen in relief printing. No experience necessary—so no “pressure”!
Level: Beginner – no previous experience necessary
Registration closes May 20, 2026 and covers all materials—just come ready to have fun!
